ABSTRACT
Objective To construct a core response competence index system for infectious disease emergencies,and to provide content framework for training program.Methods A draft of index system was developed based on literature review and theory study.Delphi technique was employed to revise the draft.Analytical Hierarchy Process and average distribution method were used to measure the weight of each index.Results Response rate of the two round consultations were 100％ and 77.8％,respectively.experts' authority coefficients were 0.88 and 0.87.Kendall's coefficients of concordance were 0.274 and 0.258,and both were statistically significant (P＜0.001).The final index system comprised 3 first-level indexes,11 second-level indexes,and 38 third-level indexes.Conclusion The index system could be used to evaluate response competence of medical staff towards infectious disease emergencies,and served as the content framework of future training program.
