Objective To explore the theory of curriculum contents for gerontological nurse practitioner training which is suitable for the situation of our country. Method Delphi technique was used in this research to build content indicators of gerontological nurse practitioner training curricu-lum, and calculate the variation coefficient. Results The theory training curriculum includes founda-tions of gerontological nursing, geriatric syndrome, facilitating physiological balance and general gero-tological care modules and 41 core indexs. Every coefficient of variation is less than 20 percent [(4.35±0.71), (4.63±0.57), (4.55±0.57), (4.67±0.55)]. The mean values of the importance (4.54± 0.622) and general characteristics are more than four. Conclusion The content setting of the geron-tological nurse practitioner training theory course not only highlights the training characteristics of the geriatric care, but also has comprehensive and systematic content, reflects humanistic care spirit and pays attention to developing nurses’clinical practice ability. Therefore, it is worthy of reference and promotion.
