Abstract

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a common glomerular disease in children. Nursing during hospitalization alone cannot solve the psychological, physiological and social health problems of children. Continuing care models may provide patients with more continuous and efficient care services. Therefore, the present study aimed to provide theoretical support for the implementation and development of children's primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) and children's chronic disease continuing nursing through the construction of a children's PNS continuing nursing model. Each item of the transitional care model for children with PNS was demonstrated using the Delphi method for two rounds of correspondence. The main items included four components: the composition of personnel, the responsibilities of each member, the content of work, and the evaluation indicators. A transitional care model for children with PNS was formed. The expert judgment coefficient of two rounds of correspondence was 0.84, the familiarity degree coefficient was 0.76, the authority degree coefficient was 0.80, the coefficient of variation was between 0.02 and 0.23, and the coordination coefficient was 0.458 and 0.327, respectively (P<0.01). The experts in the present research were highly motivated, had a high degree of authority, and presented consistent opinions. Hence, the construction of a transitional care model for children with PNS is scientifically feasible.
