Study on the application of nursing quality sensitive index in the safety management of elderly inpatients in the department of neurology

Abstract

Objective To investigate the effect of sensitive indicators of nursing quality in the management of elderly inpatients in neurology department. Methods A total of 160 inpatients in the department of neurology who were admitted between January 2016 and December 2017 were selected as study subjects. The patients were divided into pre-implementation (January to December 2016) and post-implementation (2017 Month-December) with 80 cases each. Traditional nursing Quality Management mode was adopted before implementation, and the management mode of nursing quality sensitive index was adopted after implementation. These two with priority improvement indicators, adverse events in nursing care, patient satisfaction and so on were compared. Results After the implementation, the correct rate of risk assessment, the implementation rate of nursing specifications, the correct rate of drug delivery, the rate of graded care execution, and the rate of individualized rehabilitation training were significantly higher than before implementation.The difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.103- 5.769, P<0.05). The incidence rate of adverse events such as stress injury was 3.75%(3/80), which was significantly lower than that before implementation 20.0%(16/80). The difference was statistically significant (χ2=7.206, P<0.05). The patient satisfaction rate was 96.25%(77/80), which was significantly higher than 87.50%(70/80) before implementation.The difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.103, P<0.05). Conclusion The implementation of the sensitive index of nursing quality can improve the nursing quality of elderly inpatients in the department of neurology, reduce the occurrence of nursing adverse events and improve the satisfaction of patients.
