“…Bulhões et al [ 17 ]used the Delphi method to determine the ICF core set for women, including 15 body function components, 12 body structure components, 11 activity and participation components, 15 environmental factors components and 9 personal factors components. Compared with Brazil’s research, this research in terms of body function involves more mental functions, in addition to the common function of “emotional” and “sleep” function, this research also involves the “energy to drive” and “memory”; In terms of body structure in addition to the total of urogenital structures, Brazil consensus also involves “upper limb function”, etc.…”

“…If experts have different opinions on an item, we can refer to whether the item is a common dysfunction problem for women, so as to decide whether the item should be retained. Reference to relevant literature: Bulhões et al [ 17 ] selected 45 physical therapists and finally determined 53 ICF categories and 9 personal factor items through three rounds of letter consultation. In order to ensure that the items in the letter consultation were more comprehensive, we referred to the Brazilian consensus, and included the items that were not covered by the Brazilian consensus but may be related to postpartum dysfunction of Chinese women.…”

“…According to the degree of influence of the judgment basis on the questionnaire survey, experts choose from these three grades: large, medium, and small [ 23 ]; (3) importance of items: The Likert five-point scoring method was used to judge, the higher the score, the higher the importance of the item; and (4) the degree of expert coordination is expressed by the coefficient of variation (CV) of each item, CV = σ/M, where σ represents the standard deviation of the item and M represents the average of the item. The smaller the CV value, the higher the consistency of the expert’s judgment [ 17 ].…”

Background Postpartum dysfunctions and complications can occur in women. However, functional assessment should be conducted to make treatment plans before any intervention is implemented. In this context, the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) may be a useful tool for women postpartum to document functional data and set rehabilitation goals. The purpose of this study was to determine the corresponding domains that should be considered in the evaluation of women’s postpartum functioning based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model using the Delphi method. Methods Fifteen domestic experts were invited to conduct two rounds of expert consensus survey on the ICF-based postpartum functional assessment category pool obtained through literature retrieval, clinical investigation, and reference to relevant literature. The sample was medical staff with professional knowledge of women’s health. The opinions of experts were summarized, and the positive coefficient, authority coefficient and coordination degree of experts were calculated. Results A total of 15 domestic experts participated in this expert consensus. Through two rounds of a questionnaire survey, 69 items were finally selected to form the ICF-based postpartum functional assessment tool for women. The items included 32 items of body function, 12 items of body structure, 17 items of activity and participation, and 8 items of environmental factors. In addition, we identified 8 items of personal factors. The expert positive coefficients of the two rounds of expert consensus were both 100%, the authority coefficient was 0.789, and the coefficient of variation was between 0.09 to 0.31. Conclusion A postpartum functional assessment tool for women based on the ICF model was constructed based on the Delphi method, which can provide more comprehensive health management and life intervention for postpartum women. Trial registration The Registration number of the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry is ChiCTR2200066163, 25/11/2022.
