ABSTRACT
Objective To establish the charge nurses'evaluation system and evaluate their work by comprehensive index to make the assessment more scientific.Methods The comparison value of different assessment factors were established by 4 rounds of expert consultations by the analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)and Delphi method.The index weight was confirmed and passed the coherence test(CR＜0.01).The combined index weight and comprehensive index were also obtained.Results The charge nurses'evaluation system containing 4 one-dimension targets(including internal nursing quality,patients satisfaction degree,individual professional spirit and study and development)and 17 two-dimension targets were set up.Conclusion The combination of AHP and Delphi method supplied a simple and prompt evaluation model though currently it is difficult to estimate management personnels objectively and fairly.
