The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of learning and practice using FGD on improving the ability of nurses in determining the severity of trauma patients. Methods: The research method used in this study is a quasi-experimental design with one group pre post test design. The population in this study were nurses who served at the Mojoagung Health Center. Determination of the sample using purposive sampling. The sample used was 25 nurses. All nurses underwent a pretest assessment to see the ability to identify the severity of trauma.

Result: The results of this study showed that the pretest data on the ability of nurses in the Good category were 9 nurses and the poor category was 16 nurses. After the provision of learning interventions and FGD training, data on the ability of nurses were obtained for 21 people in the Good category and 4 people in the Poor category. Analysis: The analysis test used in this study was using Wilcoxon to obtain Asymp value data. Sig. (2-tailed) is 0.000 thus indicating the effect of learning and practice with the FGD method on the ability of nurses.
