Application of continuous quality improvement on the patients′ nursing of infectious disease departments

Abstract

Objective To explore the prevention effects of continuous quality improvement (CQI) nursing on infections of infectious diseases departments. Methods A total of 280 patients of infectious diseases departments were randomly divided into control group (routine nursing) and experimental group (CQI nursing based on control group) according to even and odd-numbered admission number. We compared infection status and nursing satisfaction of two groups. Results The infection rate of experimental group was lower than that of the control group (χ2=3.97, P=0.046); patient′s grading of nursing quality and patient′s satisfaction in the experimental group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The patients of infectious diseases departments are used CQI nursing based on routine nursing can apparently decrease infection rate and enhance patient′s satisfaction, which deserve to spread.
