Summary:Aims and objectives To provide a set of nursing‐sensitive quality indicators (NSQIs) for the evaluation of clinical nursing quality in haemodialysis unit. Background There are no established objective indicators for evaluation of the quality of nursing care in haemodialysis units in China. Design and methods We performed a literature search for eligible studies published from 2006–2016. A total of six studies were screened out from which 13 potential NSQIs were identified. Two rounds of Delphi surveys were conducted with the purpose of collecting opinions from a panel of independent experts. At last, 11 NSQIs were selected by consensus after exclusion of 8 NSQIs and addition of another 6 NSQIs. Results Two rounds of expert inquiry were conducted; the questionnaire recovery rate was 100%. The average authoritative coefficients Cr for the two rounds were 0.79 and 0.90, respectively. The Kendall W values ranged from 0.273–0.388 (p
