ABSTRACT
Objective:To construct of comprehensive quality of evaluation index system about palliative care in general hospitals, so as to provide reference for promoting the scientific and standardized development of palliative care.Methods:Based on the structure-process-outcome quality model, literature research and Delphi method were used to determine the quality of palliative care evalution index system and index weight for general hospitals.Results:A total of 12 experts were consulted for two rounds,the rates of questionnaire retrieve were 12/15 and 12/12 respectively. The authoritative coefficients were 0.909 and 0.879, the Kendall′s W values were 0.27, 0.32 and 0.26 respectively with good coordination degree ( χ2=6.50, 106.62, 494.64, all P<0.05). Finally, the quality of palliative care indicator system in general hospitals was constructed, which included 3 first-level indicators, 30 second-level indicators and 157 third-level indicators. Conclusions:The establishment process of the construction of quality of palliative care indicator system in general hospitals was scientific and reasonable, focusing on the development characteristics of palliative care and can make significant contributions to improve the quality of palliative care.
