Objectives

To construct a comprehensive evaluation indicator system for inpatients’ nursing service needs in tertiary general hospital and to provide evidence for identifying and meeting the needs of inpatients’ nursing services.

Method

We used the Delphi method to conduct two rounds of expert consultations with 41 experts.

Result

The indicator system consisting of 5 first-level indicators and 48 second-level indicators was preliminarily constructed.

Conclusions

We formed an evaluation indicator system for inpatients’ nursing service needs in tertiary general hospital and classified it into five categories: hospital environment, nursing attitude, nursing skills, information exchange, and emotional support. The indicator system is scientific and reliable. It can provide a basis for nursing staffs to identify and meet the needs of inpatients’ care services.
