To develop a perioperative care model for patients with thyroid disease under the guidance of enhanced recovery after surgery and to provide a reference for the performance of enhanced recovery after surgery in clinical thyroid nursing mode.

The enhanced recovery after surgery care strategies during the perioperative period for thyroid neoplasms patients were formulated by literature review in combination with focal group interviews and the Delphi method from October 2016 to February 2017.

The response rates for the questionnaires during the two rounds of communication with experts were both 100% (16/16) . The authority coefficients (Cr) of experts for the 2 rounds were 0.870 3 and 0.882 8, respectively. It was found that the nursing mode based on enhanced recovery after surgery included 13 primary indicators and 32 secondary indicators. The significance score of these primary indicators averaged 0.90-0.95, with a full mark ratio of 0.50-0.87, while the significance score of these secondary indicators was 0.89-0.96, with a full mark ratio of 0.56-0.93. The coefficient of significance variance was 0-0.15, and Kendall's W was 0.227 (P<0.01) .

The perioperative care strategies for thyroid surgery under the guidance of enhanced recovery after surgery are developed in this study using the Delphi method, which may provide a scientific reference for clinical nursing work.
