Objective To construct the evaluation system for effect of nursing program of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)for diabetes, and to observe the homogenization of nurses to evaluate the effect of TCM clinical nursing.

Methods On the basis of literature search and retrospective investigation, the indicators at all levels of the evaluation system were drawn up. Delphi method was used to evaluate the indexes at all levels.

Results The effective response rate of experts in the first round of the Delphi method was 100.0%, and the effective response rate in the second round was 92.3%.The authoritative degree of experts in the first round of correspondence was 0.79, and the second round of correspondence was 0.80.The coordination coefficient of indicators at all levels ranged from 0.31 to 0.41, showing that the expert opinions were well coordinated. There were statistically significant differences in the coordination coefficient of indicators at all levels (P < 0.05). Finally, a evaluation system for TCM nursing program effect for diabetes mellitus with 4 first-level indicators, 12 second-level indicators, and 21 third-level indicators was established.

Conclusion The construction process of the entire evaluation system meets the scientific requirements, the indicators meet the design requirements, the content is reasonable, and it is easy to objectively evaluate the implementation effect of the TCM nursing plan for diabetes in clinic.
