Constructing a Quality Evaluation Index System for Bowel Preparation Nursing Care for Patients Undergoing Digestive Endoscopic Diagnosis and Treatment

Objective This study had two main goals. First, it aimed to construct a quality evaluation index system for bowel preparation nursing care among patients with digestive endoscopy diagnoses and treatments, based on the Delphi method. Second, it sought to provide a scientific and quantitative reference basis for evaluating the quality of the bowel preparation process. Methods The Donabedian three‐dimensional indicator system was adapted as a theoretical basis, combined with the results of an extensive literature review and the Delphi expert correspondence method to determine the indicators. Results The valid questionnaire return rates for the two rounds of Delphi expert correspondence were 93.75% and 100%, respectively, with expert authority coefficients of 0.894 and 0.907, respectively. The Kendall’s W values were 0.167 and 0.202, respectively, with p < 0.05, mean importance scores of each indicator > 4.0, and unimportant percentages ranging from 0 to 6.67. A quality evaluation index system was established for bowel preparation care among patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopic diagnosis and treatment; it included 3 primary, 13 secondary, and 39 tertiary indicators. Conclusion The constructed quality evaluation index system for bowel preparation nursing care for patients undergoing digestive endoscopy diagnosis and treatment has a high degree of expert motivation, authority, and alignment of expert opinions. It is scientifically sound and reliable and provides a strong basis for evaluating the quality of the bowel preparation process.
