Abstract:

Objective To construct a risk assessment index system for medication safety in ICU nurses. Methods Based on the theory of the “M-SHEL” model，literature review，focus group interviews，Delphi method，and analytic hierarchy process were used to screen risk assessment indicators，complete the weight assignment of indicators at all levels，and construct an ICU medication safety risk assessment index system. Results The recovery rates of the two rounds of expert consultation were 100% and 96.15%，respectively. The authority coefficient of the two rounds was 0.873 and 0.876 respectively，and the Kendall harmony coefficient was 0.159 and 0.226 respectively. The final ICU medication safety risk assessment index system consists of five first level indicators（software risk，hardware risk，environment risk，liveware risk and management risk），11 second level indicators and 47 third level indicators. Conclusion The ICU medication safety risk evaluation index system has strong scientific and practicability，which can provide an objective and quantifiable scientific basis for ICU nursing staff to implement medication safety risk assessment.
