Abstract: Objective: To develop a nursing-sensitive quality indicators system for perioperative patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices. Methods: Based on the Donabedian's three-dimensional model of "structure-process-result", the relevant indicators, their calculation formulas and data collection methods were preliminarily developed by literature review and group discussion. Then the nursing-sensitive quality indicators system of perioperative patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices was finally established through two rounds of expert consultation and expert interviews. Results: A nursing-sensitive quality indicators system of perioperative patients with cardiac implantable electronic device was established, including 3 first level indicators, 8 second level indicators and 20 third level indicators. The expert authority coefficients of the two rounds of correspondence were 0.916 and 0.921 respectively, and the Kendall harmony coefficients were from 0.190 to 0.223. Conclusion: The nursing-sensitive quality indicators system of perioperative patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices has strong specialty characteristics. Each indicator is scientific and practical, which is conducive to the improvement of perioperative nursing quality of patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices.
