Objective To construct an infection control evaluation index system for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation wards. Methods The method was based on process management theory, and through literature review and expert interviews, a preliminary evaluation index system for infection control in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation wards was designed. The evaluation indicators were determined through two rounds of Delphi expert consultation and Analytic Hierarchy Process. Results A set of infection control evaluation index system for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation wards was constructed, including 6 primary indicators, 18 secondary indicators, and 74 tertiary indicators. The positive coefficients of the two rounds of Delphi expert consultation were 100%, and the authoritative coefficients were 0.9125 and 0.9225, respectively; The second round of coordination coefficient is 0.224, and expert opinions tend to be consistent. The first level indicator weights are sorted as human (0.363), machine (0.211), material (0.166), environment (0.109), measurement (0.078), and method (0.073). The top three in the weight ranking of the combination of secondary indicators are medical staff (0.260), air purification equipment (0.138), and cleaning and disinfection materials (0.074). The top three indicators in the weight ranking of the three-level indicator combination are air conditioning purification equipment (0.085), basic operational skills related to hospital infection among medical staff (0.084), and basic theoretical knowledge (0.083). Conclusion The indicator system constructed in this study can provide a basis for the evaluation of infection control in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation wards.
