Establishing nursing-sensitive quality indicators for pediatric oncology: An international mixed methods Delphi study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Nursing-sensitive indicators (NSIs) measure factors influencing nursing care quality and patient outcomes. Established NSIs reflect general and select specialty nursing practices. However, a core set of NSIs for international pediatric oncology nursing practice does not currently exist.

The purpose of this study was to develop a preliminary core set of NSIs for international pediatric oncology nursing that would be important, actionable, and feasible to measure across varied resource settings and countries.
