To construct the sensitive indicators of the nursing quality for patients receiving airway ostomy, so as to provide a standardized tool for the evaluation of nursing quality.Methods From March to August 2024, according to the Donabedian "structure-process-result" three-dimensional quality structure model, the best evidence on the sensitive indicators of the nursing quality for patients receiving airway ostomy in China and overseas were searched, evaluated and summarized, then a questionnaire was deve-loped based on evidence-based analysis and semi-structured interview, and the index system was established after Delphi expert consultation, finally the weight of each indicator was determined by analytic hierarchy process.Results In the two rounds expert consultation, the response rates were 94.4% and 100%, the expert authority coefficients were 0.854 and 0.833, and the Kendall coordination coefficients were 0.125 and 0.142 （all P＜0.05）, respectively.Finally, a sensitive index system of the nursing quality for patients receiving airway ostomy was formed, which included 3 primary indicators, 11 secondary indicators and 28 ter-tiary indicators.Conclusion The index system has strong scientificity, reliability and clinical applicability, which is in line with the characteristics of clinical practice and nursing management of patients receiving airway ostomy, therefore it provides a reference for objectively evaluating the quality of nursing for patients receiving airway ostomy.
