Methods Based on Orem’s self-care model, through literature review, qualitative interview and Delphi method, and at last the assessment scale came into being after. Then the scale was used by professional nurses to assess 589 children who were going to be discharged from two Shanghai hospitals, and the data were analyzed by SPSS11.5. Results①The evaluation scale includes three parts, which are children’s health, the item assessment of children’s home care need, and the home care grading.②Reliability analysis: the internal consistency reliability was 0.805; the inter-raters reliability: the co-factors of the two hospitals were separately 0.84 and 0.83, p<0.05. Validity analysis: content validity: atα=0.10 level, all items and their respective dimensions had maximum correlation, and their coefficients were between 0.513-0.824; construct validity: after analysis for significance, an eigen value greater than 1.0 was established as the selection standard, and 3 factors which cumulatively explaining 37.204% of the variance were selected as co-factors.③The comprehensive evaluation: the completion rate of the scale was 91%; the average time to complete the assessment scale was 18.15±3.659min, and 84.2% of the evaluators considered the time reasonable. Conclusion Presently, the children’s home health care services which could be carried out in Shanghai communities are made up by 4 kinds of services including 25 items. To meet the children’s needs of healthy development, the home care services should focus on health prevention and health education.
