Aim: To construct an evaluation indicator system for nursing multi-disciplinary team (MDT) clinical practice in China and to provide quantifiable indicators for MDT clinical teaching courses.
Methods: Based on relevant literature retrieval and analysis, a evaluation indicator system of nursing MDT clinical teaching quality was preliminarily constructed using the Donabedian. Structure-Process-Outcome model as theoretical guidance. Then, a final indicators content was formed after two rounds of expert consultation and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to determine the weight of indicators at all levels.
Results: The effective response rate of the questionnaires in two rounds were 95.23% (20/21) and 100% (20/20) respectively, the expert authority coefficient (Cr) were 0.838 and 0.853 respectively and the Kendall's coefficient of concordance (Kendall's W) of indicators at all levels were 0.137-0.612 (P < 0.05). The final evaluation index system consisted of three one-class indicators, 8 s-class indicators and 28 third-class indicators.
Conclusion: The study constructed a comprehensive set of evaluation indicator system of nursing MDT clinical practice, which was scientific and reliable and provides reference for the clinical teaching quality evaluation of MDT nursing.
