Objective To establish sensitive indicators for the evaluation of emergency nursing quality in patients with acute aortic dissection.

Methods Based on the three-dimensional quality theory model of "structure-process-outcome", evidence-based nursing methods were used to synthesize evidence and conduct two rounds of expert consultation to determine sensitive indicators for the quality of emergency nursing in patients with acute aortic dissection.

Results The effective recovery rates of the two rounds of expert consultation questionnaires were 100.00% and 94.12%, respectively. The judgment basis coefficients (Ca) of the experts who participated in the two rounds of consultation were 0.893 and 0.914, respectively, and the familiarity coefficients (Cs) were 0.902 and 0.921, respectively, and the authority coefficients (Cr) were 0.898 and 0.918, respectively. The Kendall coefficients of the first round of consultation experts for the first, second, and third-level indicators were 0.212, 0.247, and 0.327, respectively, and were 0.225, 0.349, and 0.257, respectively in the second round of consultation experts. Finally, the sensitive indicators for the quality of emergency nursing of AAD patients were constructed, including 3 first-level indicators, 8 second-level indicators, and 29 third-level indicators.

Conclusion The sensitive indicators for the quality of emergency nursing of AAD patients constructed in this study can be used as a basis for evaluating the quality of emergency nursing in patients with acute aortic dissection.
