Construction of a Training Protocol for Postpartum Return of Clinical Nurses Based on Delphi Method
Objective To establish a training protocol for the postpartum return of clinical nurses,aiming to provide a reference for nurse administrators to carry out relevant training.Methods From August to October 2022,a training protocol for the postpartum return of nurses was proposed based on literature analysis and semi-structured interviews.Two rounds of consultation were conducted using the Delphi method on 16 experts in nursing management,nursing education,obstetrical&gynecological nursing,psychology,and public health and preventive medicine.The training protocol was revised and finalized according to the opinions of these ex-perts.Results For the two rounds of expert consultation,the positive coefficients were 100%and 93.75%,the authoritative coefficients were 0.893 and 0.906,and Kendall's coefficients of concordance were 0.387 and 0.425,respectively.After two rounds of expert consultation,the importance of each indicator was scored 4.21-5.00,and the coefficient of variation was 0-0.19.The final training protocol consists of 5 first-level indicators(trainers,training contents,training methods,training time and training effects),14 second-level indicators and 35 third-level indicators.Conclusion The training protocol for the postpartum return of nurses is scientifi-cally based,applicable and reliable.It can provide a reference for investigating and developing training modes for the postpartum return of clinical nurses in China.
