Objective To develop nursing quality indicators for pulmonary rehabilitation in chronic respiratory diseases and to provide an assessment tool. Methods Based on Donabedian′s structure-process-outcome model, literature review, structured interview and expert consultation were employed to determine evaluation indicators. Weights of each indicator was identified by calculating importance of the indicator evaluated by experts and precedence statistics. Results Twenty-seven experts completed two rounds of consultation. The response rate in both rounds was 100%, and the authority coefficient of expert was 0.889. The Kendall′s coefficient of concordance (W) was 0.284 and 0.311, respectively, showing statistically significant difference （P＜0.05 for both). The final version of the assessment tool included 3 first-level indicators, 17 second-level indicators and 114 third-level indicators. Conclusion Nursing quality indicators for pulmonary rehabilitation in chronic respiratory diseases are reliable and can be implemented in clinical practice after further validation.
