Abstract

Objective To construct a training curriculum system for venous thromboembolism (VTE) liaison nurses and provide a basis for corresponding clinical training, evaluation and certification. Methods Analyzed the training needs of VTE liaison nurses. Conducted two rounds of Delphi surveys with 27 experts from Hubei, Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangxi and Guangdong provinces in China. Determined the weights of indicators at all levels using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and equal weighting method. Results The age of the participants ranged from 38~59 (46.63±5.343), and the years of working ranged from 12~42 (25.48±7.439). 27 and 26 valid questionnaires were collected respectively from the first and second rounds of the surveys. The effective response rates of the two-round Delphi survey were 90.0% and 96.3%, respectively, and the experts’ authoritative coefficients were 0.884 and 0.906, respectively, and Kendall’s coefficient of concordance of experts’ opinions were 0.261 and 0.276, respectively (P <0.01). A training system with 5 first-level indicators and 26 second-level indicators was finally formed after two rounds of Delphi surveys. Conclusions The training system for VTE liaison nurses constructed in this study is highly scientific and practical, which can provide a basis for the training assessment and ability evaluation of VTE liaison nurses, and also provide a reference for VTE prophylaxis, treatment and nursing.
