Clinical nursing pathway design for children with anti-NMDA receptor autoimmune encephalitis

Objective To construct the clinical nursing pathway (CNP) design for children with anti-NMDA receptor autoimmune encephalitis taking project time as frame. Methods The CNP draft for anti-NMDA receptor autoimmune encephalitis draft was designed by consulting literatures at home and abroad, screening evidence-based evidences, retrospective case analysis. Delphi method was used to two rounds of expert consultation of CNP draft to determine the CNP. Results A total of 12 experts were interviewed with 0.91 for the expert authority coefficient. There were 50 items in the first round of consultation, and the consent rates ranged from 66.67% to 100%. There were 49 items in the second round of consultation, the consent rates of two items were 85.71% and others were all 100%. The CNP for children with anti-NMDA receptor autoimmune encephalitis had 49 items. Conclusions Delphi method-based CNP text is highly efficient and practical, but it needs to be continually updated according to the variation.
