Abstract
Objective To construct the evaluation index system of home safety of empty nest elderly in community, and to provide a reference for the analysis of potential home safety hazards and the formulation of safety intervention measures for the empty nest elderly in the community. Methods From June 2018 to March 2019, based on literature review, Delphi expert consultation method was used to design the Expert Consultation Table for the Index System of home safety of the empty nest elderly in community, which included five first-level indicators (physiological status, home environment, psychological status, social support, safety knowledge, attitude and practice) and 52 second-level indicators. 15 experts in geriatric nursing, geriatrics and injury epidemiology were selected for two rounds of consultation. Results The positive coefficients of experts in the first and second rounds were 83.3% and 100.0%, respectively; the authoritative coefficient of experts was 0.91; Kendall W coefficients in the first and second rounds were 0.246 and 0.356, respectively (P<0.01) ; after two rounds of inquiry, an evaluation index system of the home safety of empty nest elderly in community was established, which consisted of 5 first-level indicators and 52 second-level indicators. Among them, the mean value of the importance assignment of the first level index was 4.64-4.91, the standard deviation was 0.30-0.67, and the coefficient of variation was 0.06-0.14; the mean value of the importance assignment of the second-level index was 3.55-4.91, the standard deviation was 0.30-0.92, and the coefficient of variation was 0.06-0.20. Conclusions Through Delphi expert consultation method, the evaluation index system of home safety of empty nest elderly in community is scientific and reliable. It plays a strong guiding role in the evaluation of home safety of empty nest elderly. Key words: Delphi method; Safety; Community; Empty nest elderly; Home safety; Evaluation
