Based on the core competence of stroke certified registered nurses, this study construct the theoretical raining curriculum system for stroke certified registered nurses and made a preliminary evaluation.

Using Delphi expert consultation method and based on literature research, the first draft of training course for stroke certified registered nurses was formed. In the form of Email, 14 experts in the field of stroke care who met the selection criteria were sent a questionnaire, and two rounds of consultation were conducted. The theoretical raining curriculum system for the training of stroke specialist nurses was constructed; the purpose sampling method was used to evaluate the application effect of the stroke specialist nursing theoretical training curriculum system through the theoretical performance and satisfaction evaluation of 127 trainees who participated in the first phase of the stroke specialist nursing theoretical training curriculum.

The recovery rate and effective rate of the two rounds of expert consultation questionnaire were 14/14, the authority coefficient of the second round of expert consultation was 0.94, and the expert Kandall coordination coefficients of the first, second and third-level indexes were 0.356, 0.216, 0.207 respectively (P<0.05). The training curriculum of stroke specialist nurses finally formed included 5 primary indicators (Professional practice concept, general nursing knowledge, stroke diagnosis and treatment, acute stroke nursing management, secondary prevention of cerebrovascular disease), 21 secondary indicators and 63 tertiary indicators. The Analytic hierarchy process was used to determine the weight coefficients of all levels of indicators, and the consistency Ratio <0.1. Based on the curriculum system as the content framework, theoretical courses were set up to train stroke specialist nurses. 109 trainees completed the post-training assessment. Before training, the qualified rate of theoretical performance of stroke certified registered nurses was 77.95% (99/127), and after training, the qualified rate of theoretical performance of stroke certified registered nurses was 100% (109/109). The difference was statistically significant (χ²=27.60, P<0.01). The excellent rate of theoretical performance of stroke certified registered nurses before training was 35.43% (45/127), and 100% (109/109) after training, the difference was statistically significant (χ²=24.17, P<0.01).The average score of the trainees′ satisfaction was (38.90±2.55) points.

The theoretical raining curriculum system for stroke certified registered nurses setting constructed in this study standardizes the training system of stroke nurses to a certain extent, and provides a basis for the construction of homogeneous training courses in China in the future.
