Construction of competency evaluation index system of public health personnel for health emergency work based on Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process.

Objective To establish a health emergency competency evaluation index system for public health personnel, so as to provide a theoretical basis for building a health emergency team. Methods The competency index was screened and the evaluation index frame was established by literature research method, expert association commercial method and Delphi method. The analytic hierarchy process was used to calculate the weight value of the importance of indicators at all levels, and the evaluation index system was formed. Results A total of 21 experts were invited to conduct letter inquiries, and the recovery rate of the two rounds of expert letter inquiries was 100%. The Cronbach's a coefficients of the expert letter consultation form were 0.968 and 0.963, expert authority level 0.865, Kendall's W coordination coefficient in 2 rounds of correspondence suggested that experts had a high consistency (P < 0.05) . The evaluation index system of public health personnel's competency in health emergency work included 3 first-level indicators, 11 second-level indicators and 68 third-level indicators. The weights of the first-level indicators are respectively health emergency literacy (0.517 4), professional literacy (0.336 1) and personal literacy (0.146 6). Conclusion Good health emergency literacy is the basis for public health personnel to respond to public health emergencies. The weight of each index in this index system is determined by Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process, and the results are scientific and reliable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
