Objective To construct the nursing quality sensitive indicators suitable for enteral nutrition of inpatients, so as to provide reference for improving the nursing quality of enteral nutrition. Methods Based on literature review, and taken structure-process-outcome quality management model as theoretical framework, the draft nursing quality sensitive indicators on enteral nutrition for inpatients was constructed after special session discussion, then a 2 round Delphi study was conducted among 20 experts. Results The final nursing quality sensitive indicators on enteral nutrition for inpatients consisted of 3 first-level indicators and 11 second-level indicators. Experts′ response rate was 100% in the two rounds, the Kendall coefficients of concordance was 0.305 and 0.368 respectively (P＜0.01 for both), experts′ authority coefficient was 0.870 and 0.860. Conclusion The constructed nursing quality sensitive indicators on enteral nutrition for inpatients could provide objective and measurable reference for the evaluation of nursing quality on enteral nutrition.
