The “index system” developed in this study refers to a structured framework outlining the content and components of training programs, rather than a performance evaluation tool.Methods: Based on a literature review and expert interviews, a customized expert consultation questionnaire titled “Pressure Injury Prevention Training System for healthcare assistants in Tertiary Hospitals” was created. The Delphi method was employed to conduct two rounds of consultations with 23 experts who met the selection criteria, resulting in the establishment of the final training program indicator system.Results: The average positive coefficient from the two rounds of expert consultations was 100%, with an authority coefficient of 0.823, and a coefficient of variation of 0.2037. The degree of consensus among expert opinions was 0.380 (P = 0.000). The finalized training system comprises seven primary indexes and 40 secondary indexes. Key training elements include repositioning techniques, the use of pressure-relieving devices, and skin cleansing methods, which were rated with high consensus by experts.Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrate good representativeness and authority, serving as a valuable reference for developing pressure injury prevention training programs for healthcare assistants in tertiary hospitals. This index system serves as a structured framework outlining key knowledge, skills, and training delivery components, rather than a performance evaluation tool.Keywords: Delphi method, healthcare assistants, pressure injuries, training
