This study aims to develop and validate a checklist of discharge readiness criteria for COVID-19 patients from the intensive care unit (ICU). We conducted a Delphi design study. The degree of agreement among 7 experts had been evaluated using the content validity index (CVI) through a 4-point Likert scale. The instrument was validated with 17 items. All the experts rated all items as very relevant which scored the item-CVI 1, which validates all checklist items. Using the mean of all items, the scale-CVI was calculated, and it was 1. This meant validation of the checklist as a whole. With regard to the overall checklist evaluation, the mean expert proportion of the instrument was 1, and the S-CVI/UA was 1. This discharge criteria checklist improves transition of care for COVID-19 patients and can help nurses, doctors, and academics to discharge COVID-19 patients from the ICU safely.
本研究旨在制定并验证一份针对重症监护病房（ICU）中新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）患者出院准备标准的清单。我们进行了一项德尔菲设计研究。通过四分制李克特量表，使用内容效度指数（CVI）评估了7位专家之间的一致程度。该工具通过17个项目进行了验证。所有专家将所有项目评为非常相关，项目内容效度指数（item-CVI）得分为1，这验证了所有清单项目。使用所有项目的平均值计算量表内容效度指数（scale-CVI），结果为1。这意味着整个清单得到了验证。关于清单的总体评估，该工具的专家平均比例为1，且量表CVI/UA为1。这份出院标准清单改善了COVID-19患者的护理过渡，有助于护士、医生和学者安全地将COVID-19患者从ICU转出。
