To construct an evaluation index system of first-aid ability of Operating Room nurses and to provide evidence for scientific evaluation of first-aid ability of Operating Room nurses and rationally setting up emergency nursing training programs in Operating Room.

A research team was established in June 2019. Through literature review, a draft evaluation system of first-aid ability of Operating Room nurses was formed, and an consultation questionnaire was compiled. From July to September 2019, questionnaires were distributed by emails for expert letter consultation. Semi-structured interview, Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process were used to construct the evaluation index system of first-aid ability of Operating Room nurses and determine the weight of each index.

The positive coefficients of the 2 rounds of expert letter consultation were respectively 100.0% and 95.5%, the expert authority coefficients were respectively 0.94 and 0.92, and Kendall's coefficients of concordance were respectively 0.348 and 0.405. The final evaluation system for first-aid ability of Operating Room nurses included 5 first-level indexes and 23 second-level indexes.

The evaluation system of first-aid ability of Operating Room nurses constructed in this study can comprehensively evaluate the first-aid ability of Operating Room nurses, which has a strong rigor and provides reference for scientifically setting up first-aid ability training courses and evaluation systems for operating room nurses.
