Establishing a course to train ICU nurses on prone position mechanical ventilation: A Delphi study

Yan Jiang et al. Nurs Open. 2024 Jun.

Abstract

Aim: To develop a comprehensive training course for training ICU nurses in prone positioning.

Design: A mixed study combining semi-structured interviews and two rounds of Delphi surveys.

Methods: We constructed a questionnaire after collecting data through a literature review and semi-structured interviews. We used the Delphi expert correspondence method to conduct two rounds of research among 17 experts in the field of critical illness. Data collection took place between May and August 2022.

Results: The effective questionnaire recovery rate was 88.2%. The expert authority coefficient was 0.876; the Kendall coordination coefficient was 0.402; the average importance score for each index ranged from 4.00 to 4.93; and the coefficient of variation for each index ranged from 0.05 to 0.19. We established 13 second-level indicators and 41 third-level indicators on prone position ventilation training according to three aspects: training contents, training methods and training assessment. The training system of prone mechanical ventilation for ICU nurses established in this study will provide an effective framework for training and evaluating the practical ability of prone mechanical ventilation for ICU nurses.

Keywords: Delphi method; mechanical ventilation; nurse; prone position; semi‐structured interview.
