Objective  To scientifically evaluate the nosocomial infection prevention and control ability of respiratory infectious diseases in general hospitals, and to construct a set of quantitative assessment system for the prevention and control ability of respiratory infectious diseases in general hospitals. Methods  Papers, standards and guidelines online related to respiratory hospital infections published between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2023 were selected, and infection control experience was summarized to build a pool of evaluation pionts. Then, this study used experts consultation to select the evaluation pionts, to calculate the weight coefficient and reached a consensus on the quantitative evaluation methods of each evaluation point. Results  A total of 27 articles were included. The evaluation system included 17 evaluation points in 4 categories: “Basic management capacity” “Basic conditions of facilities and equipments” “The prevention and control capacity of nosocomial infection” and “The emergency response capacity”. Each evaluation point contained 3 quantitative evaluation indicators. The Cronbach’s α coefficients of the expert questionnaire consultation were 0.914 and 0.883, respectively. The scale-level content validity index was 0.932, and the item-level content validity index ranged from 0.823 to 1. Conclusions  The evaluation system constructed in this study can be used for quantitative evaluation and quality self-examination of the prevention and control ability of respiratory infectious diseases in general hospitals. It also contributes to the continuous improvement of the quality of nosocomial infection prevention and control.
