Abstract:

Objective To develop a nursing training program for patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment. Methods Semi-structured interviews with clinicians,nurses,rehabilitation therapists,and nursing educators were conducted on the basis of literature analysis to design a draft of the training program. The Delphi technique was used to conduct 2 rounds of expert consultations with 25 experts. Results The positive coefficients of the two rounds of expert letter inquiries were 84.0%（21/25） and 95.2%（20/21）,and the expert authority coefficients were 0.85 and 0.86 respectively. The Kendall coefficients of item importance were 0.214 and 0.316 respectively（P<0.001）. The final training program consisted of 6 parts including training objectives（4 first-level items,11 second-level items）,training contents（10 first-level items,48 second-level items）,and training form（7 items）,training time（46 class hours）,training teachers（3 items） and training evaluation（4 items）. Conclusion The post-stroke cognitive impairment nursing training program has plenty of contents,high reliability and expert recognition,and is suitable for nurse training. The program still needs to be improved through practice and its training effects are needed to be examined.
