Background: Nursing care standards can be regarded as a key variable in successful organizations. Purpose of the study: Was to design and validate nursing care standards at National Liver Institute Hospital through, assessing the structure and process nursing care standards in surgical care units (critical and intermediate), designing standards of nursing care rendered in surgical care units and testing the validity of a designed nursing care standards. Design: Analytical research design was used: the study was conducted at National Liver Institute Hospital. Sample: All staff nurses (65) working in surgical care units (critical and intermediate) were involved in the study and the snowball sampling technique was employed to select the panel subjects for Delphi technique. Instruments: Data were collected using two data collection instruments, Observational checklist for assessing the structure and the process standard and Delphi panel’s consensus opinionaire sheet for assessing the experts’ opinions about validity of the designed nursing care standards that developed by the researcher. Results: The study revealed that there was no statistically significant difference in both structure and process standards in critical and intermediate care unit pre designing nursing care standards. The designed standards were considered valid by the Delphi Panel by (86.7%) for structure standard and (93.3%) for process standard. Conclusion: The designed nursing care standards were considered valid by Delphi Panel. Recommendation: The designed standards and the study results should be disseminated to the important key persons and healthcare agencies to be considered.
