Objective To construct quality evaluation indicators for perioperative nursing in heart transplantation,and to provide standard and professional quantitative bases for monitoring and management of perioperative nursing quality.Methods This study was conducted based on the frame work of the three-dimensional"structure-process-outcome"quality model,using literature review,Delphi method and analytic hierarchy to determine the content of the indicators,and the weight of each index.Results A total of 22 experts from 14 qualified heart transplantation hospitals were included,and a total of 2 rounds of consultations were conducted.The effective recovery rates of 2 rounds of expert consultation questionnaires were 100％.The authority coefficients were 0.817.The variation coefficients of each item ranged from 0.025～0.169 and 0.039～0.157.The Kendall harmony coefficients were 0.126 and 0.225(P＜0.001).The final evaluation indicators for perioperative nursing quality in heart transplantation included 3 first-level indicators,12 second-lever indicators and 59 third-level indicators.Conclusion The evaluation indicators of perioperative nursing quality in heart transplantation was scientific,comprehensive and specialized,which can provide references for the evaluation of perioperative nursing quality in heart transplantation.
