Influence of prospective nursing quality management on indicators of intensive medicine nursing quality

Abstract

Objective To explore the influence of prospective nursing quality management on the indicators of intensive medicine nursing quality. Methods 446 patients hospitalized into the ward of intensive medicine at our hospital from January, 2014 to December, 2015 were selected and randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, 223 for each group. The control group were cared using traditional nursing care quality management mode and the observation group prospective nursing quality management mode. The indicators of nursing quality were compared between these two groups. Results The incidences of high-risk drug extravasation, unexpected extubation, skin lesions in patients with incontinence, transfusion reaction, and ventilator associated pneumonia were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group, with statistical differences (P<0.05). Conclusions Applying prospective nursing quality management in ICU can decrease the incidences of adverse events, improve nursing quality, and guarantee the nursing safety of critically ill patients, so it is worth being clinically generalized.
