Abstract: Objective: To construct a home care program for children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia and provide guidance on home care for families of children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Methods: Using the Omaha system theory as a guiding framework, the first draft of the home care program for children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia was developed through literature analysis and semi-structured interviews, and the final program was finalized during September to November 2022 through 2 rounds of Delphi expert correspondence. Results: A total of 17 experts completed 2 rounds of Delphi expert consultations, all with an authority coefficient of >0.8. The final constructed home care program for children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia included three parts: assessment, intervention and evaluation. The assessment component has 4 primary indicators, 13 secondary indicators and 40 tertiary indicators; the intervention component has 2 primary indicators and 9 secondary indicators; and the evaluation component has 1 primary indicator and 2 secondary indicators. Conclusion: The home care program for children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia is constructed to be more scientific, comprehensive and easy to operate, providing a theoretical basis and practical guidance for nursing caregivers and family caregivers.
