Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to establish an infection prevention and control strategy for nursing managements during surgical operations in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.

Design: A Delphi method.

Methods: Between November 2021 and March 2022, we first formulated a preliminary infection prevention and control strategy based on the literature review and institutional experience. Then, we applied Delphi method and performed expert surveys to reach a final strategy for nursing managements during surgical operations in COVID-19 patients.

Results: The strategy included seven dimensions with 34 items. The positive coefficients of Delphi experts in both surveys were 100%, indicating a high coordination among experts. The degree of authority and expert coordination coefficient were 0.91 and 0.097-0.213. After the second expert survey, value assignments for importance of each dimension and item were 4.21-5.00 and 4.21-4.76 points, respectively. The coefficients of variation for dimension and item were 0.09-0.19 and 0.05-0.19, respectively.

Patient Or Public Contribution: Except the medical experts and research personnel, there was no other patient or public contribution involved in the study.
