Abstract

Aim: To identify a set of scientific, systematic and clinically applicable nursing-sensitive quality indicators for pernicious placenta previa (PPP).

Design: A modified Delphi-Consensus Technique.

Methods: According to literature retrieval published between 2009-2019, 38 nursing-sensitive quality indicators were chosen and a questionnaire was designed. An online survey was conducted in 20 hospitals in China, and data of experts' opinions were collected and analysed by improved Delphi method.

Results: 38 nursing-sensitive quality indicators were identified. The response rates in the two rounds of expert consultation were 97.4% and 100%, and the authoritative coefficients were 0.89 and 0.92. The coefficients of variation ranged from 0.04-0.28. The nursing-sensitive quality indicators were successfully constructed based on the modified Delphi technique.

Keywords: modified Delphi technique; nursing-sensitive quality indicators; obstetrical nursing; pernicious placenta previa.
