Develop an undergraduate curriculum for nursing engineering with Delphi method
Objective To develop an undergraduate curriculum for nursing engineering hence to provide a reference for establishing an innovative thinking of nursing undergraduates and cultivating innovative talents with interdisciplinary knowledge in nursing and engineering.Methods Based on literatures review,the primary undergraduate curriculum for nursing engineering was drafted through the expert focus method.With the Delphi method,20 experts were engaged in two rounds of correspondence consultation to finalise the curriculum.Results The response rate from two rounds of expert consultation was 100.00%,with an expert authority coefficient of 0.855.Of the first and second round of consultations,the coefficient of variation of each item was 0.09-0.28 and 0.08-0.24,respectively,and the Kendall coordination coefficient was 0.130-0.210 and 0.152-0.350,respectively(all P<0.01).The average importance of each item for the first round of consultation was 3.45 to 4.68,with a standard deviation from 0.51 to 1.14,and it was 3.80 to 4.85 for the second round with a standard deviation from 0.37 to 0.99.Finally,the undergraduate curriculum for nursing engineering was finalised.It included 4 primary indicators,10 secondary indicators and 38 tertiary indicators.Conclusions The developed undergraduate curriculum for nursing engineering meets the requirement of clinical medicine and development in nursing science.The curriculum is authoritative and scientific,therefore it can provide a reference for the training of innovative talents with interdisciplinary knowledge of nursing and engineering in China.
