ABSTRACT

Objective:To develop a training system for head and neck oncology nurses to improve the emergency response competency to recognize and response to acute and critical medical conditions.Methods:Based on literature review and semi-structured interviews with 12 nurses, two rounds of consultation with 15 head and neck cancer care specialists from 6 Tertiary hospitals using Delphi method were conducted to establish the training system for head and neck oncology nurses.Results:The authority coefficients of experts were 0.87 and 0.89, respectively. The coefficient of variation of each item ranged from 0 to 0.167. The coefficients of concordance ranged from 0.243 to 0.403 ( P<0.01). There was statistical significance after Chi-square test ( χ2 values were 14.60-436.64, all P<0.01). In the final training system, training aims included 5 first-level indicators and 16 second-level indicators; training contents included 5 first-level indicators, 16 second-level indicators, and 60 third-level indicators. Conclusions:The authority coefficients and the coefficients of concordance of the experts for the training system were both high. The training system can be applied to improve the emergency response competency of head and neck oncology nurses.
