Methods On the basis of nursing system, nursing criterion, nursing routine and nursing process, the specific nursing quality indicators were established and implemented in our hospital from October 2015 to June 2016. The specific nursing quality indicators were established according to different characteristics of patients, including psychological nursing, isolation protection, high fever nursing and so on. Every indicator was standardized by structure, process and result modules.

The correct rate of nursing assessment, the rate of measures implementation, the awareness rate of patients′ disease knowledge, the accuracy of nursing record writing, the qualified rate of shift duty, patients′ satisfaction and qualified rate of specific nursing knowledge were compared before and after implementing the specific nursing quality indicators. Results After the implementation of the specific nursing quality indicators, the correct rate of nursing assessment increased from 74.89% to 89.33%, the rate of measures implementation increased from 75.79% to 88.44%, the awareness rate of patients′ disease knowledge increased from 65.47% to 79.56%, the accuracy of nursing record writing increased from 65.02% to 88.00%, the qualified rate of shift duty increased from 60.08% to 81.33%, patients′ satisfaction increased from 92.06% to 97.08%, the qualified rate of specific nursing knowledge increased from 69.59% to 86.49%.
