Creation and Location‐Specific Revision of a Core Nursing Outcomes Evaluation System Based on Nursing Outcomes Classification for Stroke Inpatients in China

PURPOSE To screen and create a core nursing outcomes evaluation index system based on NOC for stroke inpatients in China. METHODS This study adopted the method of Delphi expert consultation, with the degree of consent >4.0 points and the coefficient of variation <0.25 as the standard for inclusion of indexes. RESULTS The evaluation index system established in this study includes five first‐grade indexes, 15 second‐grade indexes, and 58 third‐grade indexes. CONCLUSION The evaluation index system of core nursing outcomes for stroke inpatients in China has good specificity and reliability. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS The evaluation index system of core nursing outcomes provides a standardized location‐specific tool for clinical nurses to evaluate the nursing quality and intervention effect for stroke inpatients in China.
