    A comprehensive evaluation framework for sepsis care quality was developed through a three-phase mixed-methods Delphi study in China.

  • 2

    The study identified 42 nursing-sensitive quality indicators (NSQIs) for sepsis care, categorized into primary, secondary, and tertiary indicators.

  • 3

    Expert consensus was achieved with a high authority coefficient (Cr ≥ 0.7) and significant coordination in the Delphi rounds.

  • 4

    The NSQIs encompass three dimensions: importance, rationality, and feasibility, tailored to China's unique healthcare context.

  • 5

    This framework aims to enhance clinical nursing quality assessment and improve sepsis management outcomes in Chinese healthcare settings.
