Abstract：Objective To construct a core competence assessment index based on onion theory for nurses in the central sterile supply department(CSSD),providing a reference for standardized training.Methods Based on onion theory,the core competence assessment index was established by literature analysis,qualitative interview and Delphi expert consultation.Results An initial draft of the index was formed through literature analysis supplemented by qualitative interviews.Two rounds of Delphi expert consultation were conducted to refine and validate the indicators.Expert participation rate was 100%,and the authority coefficient was 0.79,with a judgment coefficient of 0.78 and the familiarity coefficient was 0.70.Kendall's W for two rounds were statistically significant(P＜0.001).Based on expert feedback,the final index was formed included four first-level indicators,ten second-level indicators and 43 third-level indicators.The Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP)was used to determine the weight of each indicator.Conclusions The developed core competence assessment index for CSSD nurses which based on the onion theory model,has a certain theoretical basis,and the construction process was scientific and rigorous,can provide quantitative basis for promoting the evaluation index of nurses'core competence in CSSD.
