【Abstract】 Objective To establish the sensitive indicators for the quality of perianesthesia nursing care, so as to provide standard and quantitative evidence for monitoring and evaluating the quality of nursing care during perianesthesia. Methods Based on Donabedian "structure‑process‑result" quality assessment model, the first draft of perianesthesia nursing quality sensitive indicators was constructed by Johns Hopkins evidence‑based nursing method and final draft was constructed by Delphi method. Analytic hierarchy process was used to calculate the weights of indicators. Results The positive coefficients for the two rounds of expert consultation all were 100%, the expert authority coefficients were 0.903 and 0.910 respectively, and the Kendall's coefficients were 0.139 and 0.189 respectively, with statistical difference (P<0.05). The final draft of perianesthesia nursing quality sensitive indicators were constructed including 3 first‑level indicators, 15 second‑level indicators and 66 third‑level indicators. Conclusions The sensitive indicators for the quality of perianesthesia nursing care constructed by evidence‑based nursing and Delphi method were scientific and reliable, which can provide evidence for quality control of nursing care and continuous improvement of quality in anesthesiology department.
