“…In addition, some of the most dangerous complications during pregnancy, such as pre‐eclampsia, are not well known by emergency teams. This has led to the development of specific tools, such as the Maternal Fetal Triage Index (MFTI) and the Maternal Early Warning System (MEWS) in the USA and the Obstetric Triage Acuity Scale (OTAS) in Canada . However, these tools either lack reliability, do not include gynaecological conditions, or fail to link to existing general triage instruments.…”

“…The degree of familiarity with the content of the questionnaires and their respective assignments were categorised as follows: extremely familiar (1.00); very familiar (0.80); generally familiar (0.60); less familiar (0.40) and unfamiliar (0.20). The judgement basis and influence degree of the research subjects were divided into four categories and three grades: practical experience (0.45, 0.35, 0.20), theoretical analysis (0.30, 0.20, 0.10), reference literature at home and abroad (0.20, 0.15, 0.10) and chosen by instinct (0.05, 0.05, 0.05); (c) coefficient of variation: A coefficient of variation ≥0.2 was set as the index deletion standard; (d) the Kendall coefficient of concordance (W) was used to evaluate the agreement among raters (Okoli & Pawlowski, ); (e) content validity index: it is usually used for quantitative evaluations of parameters including the entry‐level of content validity index and weight table level content validity index (Ruhl, Scheich, Onokpise, & Bingham, ). p < .05 was considered to indicate statistical significance for the differences.…”

Aim and objective To establish an index system for the evaluation of undergraduate nursing student innovation ability. Background An index system for evaluation of undergraduate nursing student innovation ability has not been established. Design A three‐round Delphi survey sought opinions from experts about the index system for evaluation of undergraduate nursing student innovation ability. Methods A Delphi survey was used for the study of 19 experts from nursing education, clinical nursing and health management. The consistency of consultation results formed the basis for determining the rounds of consultation. With the importance of consulting experts in the last round, we established the judgement matrix using yaahp7.5 software and the analytic hierarchy process and determined the weight coefficient of each index. A modified recommendation for the Conducting and Reporting of Delphi studies (CREDES) was used to guide this study. Results Nineteen experts from 10 nursing colleges and nine third‐level first‐class hospitals in seven domestic provinces/municipalities were included in this study. The index system was divided into primary, secondary and tertiary levels. Consensus was reached on three primary indicators (‘spirit’, ‘ability’ and ‘achievement’), nine secondary indicators and 28 tertiary indicators. Conclusions A unified and hierarchical quality assessment index framework for nursing undergraduate creative ability was established. The framework should be further tested and improved in practice. Relevance to clinical practice Nursing students are the main force behind clinical nursing in the future. An innovative approach to skill acquisition and application could enhance the student nurse experience. The innovative ability of nursing students is important for identification of education strategies that be implemented to better support those individuals. Furthermore, the construction of the index system is helpful for evaluation of the innovation ability of nursing students that are required to better meet the needs of clinical nursing work in the future.

The allegation of delay in performing an emergency cesarean delivery is common in litigation involving neurological injury to newborns. Analyzing the actual performance of an emergency cesarean involves multiple steps, individuals, and systemic processes that need coordination for appropriate action when necessary. This article gives risk managers a systematic way to evaluate a given perinatal unit's approach to the ability to perform an emergency cesarean through evaluating the 6 "A"s: Assess, Alert, Align, Assemble, Act, and Analyze. Each of these elements is discussed based on current evidence. A checklist that may be useful in the evaluation of the elements of performance of emergency cesarean delivery is provided.
