Nursing‐sensitive quality indicators for pernicious placenta previa in obstetrics: A Delphi study based across Chinese institutions

AIM: To identify a set of scientific, systematic and clinically applicable nursing‐sensitive quality indicators for pernicious placenta previa (PPP). DESIGN: A modified Delphi‐Consensus Technique. METHODS: According to literature retrieval published between 2009–2019, 38 nursing‐sensitive quality indicators were chosen and a questionnaire was designed. An online survey was conducted in 20 hospitals in China, and data of experts’ opinions were collected and analysed by improved Delphi method. RESULTS: 38 nursing‐sensitive quality indicators were identified. The response rates in the two rounds of expert consultation were 97.4% and 100%, and the authoritative coefficients were 0.89 and 0.92. The coefficients of variation ranged from 0.04–0.28. The nursing‐sensitive quality indicators were successfully constructed based on the modified Delphi technique.
