Construction of the theoretical knowledge system of stroke emergency nurses based on Delphi consultation

Abstract

Objective To construct a theoretical knowledge system for stroke emergency nurses and to provide reference for the establishment of the theoretical knowledge training course for stroke emergency nurses. Methods Through literature review and referring to relevant guidelines, the preliminary items of theoretical knowledge of stroke emergency nurses were formed. Through Delphi method, 20 experts were inquired for two rounds, and the main points of theoretical knowledge were established. Results The positive coefficients of the two rounds of expert inquiries were 100%, and the positive coefficients of experts were high. The judgment basis, familiarity and authority coefficients of expert consultation were 0.925, 0.844 and 0.885, respectively, all>0.700, and the reliability of consultation results was high. The Kendall Harmony Coefficient of the secondary indicators was 0.462 and 0.293 respectively (P<0.01) . The theoretical knowledge system of stroke emergency nurses included 8 primary indicators, 24 secondary indicators and 45 key points of knowledge. Conclusions The consultation experts' opinions are concentrated and the results are credible. The establishment of the theoretical knowledge system of the stroke emergency nurses can provide a reference for setting up the theoretical training courses for stroke emergency nurses.
