ObjectiveTo construct an evaluation index system of hygienic integrity for swimming places by Delphi method, and to provide basis for the supervision of sanitary integrity in swimming places.

MethodsAn initial evaluation framework of evaluating indicator was constructed by literature review and expert interview.Two rounds of expert consultation were conducted.

ResultsThe positive coefficients of the two rounds of expert consultation were 88.9% and 100.0%;the authoritative coefficients were 0.87 and 0.88, and the coordination coefficients 0.350(χ²=235.186, P < 0.05)and 0.483(χ²=270.746, P < 0.05), respectively.The evaluation index system of sanitary integrity in swimming places included 3 first-level indicators, 6 second-level indicators and 27 third-level indicators.Among the first-level indicators, "health integrity record" had the largest weight (0.358), with an average score of 6.75 and a full score frequency of 87.5%.Among the secondary indicators, the weight of "government regulatory information record" was the largest (0.191), with an average score of 6.88 and a full score frequency of 93.8%.Among the three indicators, "health administrative punishment" had the largest weight (0.045), with an average score of 7.00 and a full score frequency of 100.0%.

ConclusionAn evaluation index system of sanitary integrity in swimming places is constructed based on Delphi method, showing high levels of expert participation, authority, and concordance.
