To construct a scientific and practical micro-course content framework of cross-cultural nursing hospice care from the perspective of attention, relevance, confidence and satisfaction (ARCS) model.

The research team was established in November 2018. Using Delphi method, 16 experts in cross-cultural nursing, hospice care, nursing management, nursing education and other fields were consulted for 3 rounds of correspondence. According to scores of experts, the index weights were calculated to form micro-course content framework of cross-cultural nursing hospice care from the perspective of ARCS model.

The positive coefficient of experts surveyed by the questionnaire was 100%, the average value of expert authority coefficient was 0.81. The determined importance values of the first and second level indexes were all greater than 4.00. The coefficient of variation was 0 to 0.12, which were all less than 0.25 and met the requirements. In the end, a content framework containing 3 first-level indexes of professional concepts, professional knowledge and professional skills and 19 second-level micro-course content framework of cross-cultural nursing hospice care were formed.

Based on the perspective of ARCS model, the construction process of content framework of the cross-cultural nursing hospice care micro-course is scientific and the setting is reasonable, which has a good guiding significance for the development of training for hospice care nurses.
