Abstract:
Objective To design a checklist (NICU-PoHC) for postoperative handover in the NICU (Neurosurgery Intensive Care Unit) in case of information omissions or task errors during the handover process,thus to improve patient safety.Methods Team discussion and literature review was conducted to compose the preliminary version of the NICU-PoHC.Then two rounds of panel review were conducted using the Delphi methods to revise the preliminary checklist and to calculate its Content Validity Index (CVI).Results The authority coefficient of experts was 0.86.Twenty experts proposed 7 suggestions for revision.The NICU-PoHC was developed,and its CVI was 0.88.Conclusions Our study developed the NICU-PoHC,which can be used as an assistant tool guiding the postoperative handover,preventing information omissions and task errors,and thus improving patient safety.
