Objective:To explore the application effect of quality control circle activities in improving the standardization rate of PICC catheter maintenance.Method:104 patients who underwent PICC in the hospital from August 2022 to April 2023 were randomly selected as the research subjects.The quality control circle method was used to improve the standardization of PICC catheter maintenance.The activity was carried out through 12 steps,including the establishment of group members,selection of subjects,formulation of activity plans,and status control in the standard steps of the quality control circle.Compare and analyze the standardization rate,missing items,and self-evaluation results of PICC catheter maintenance before and after quality control circle activities,and calculate the results of goal achievement.Result:The standardized maintenance rate of PICC catheter after improvement(92.02%)was significantly higher than that before improvement(55.32%)(P<0.05);The incidence of defective items such as improper fixation of catheters,as well as improper treatment of catheter return,exudation,and exudate,was significantly reduced(P<0.05);The target is 121.48%,with a progress rate of 66.34%;The self-evaluation results of circle members after improvement were significantly higher than those before improvement(P<0.05).Result:Quality control circle activities can effectively improve the standardization of PICC catheter maintenance,reduce the occurrence of PICC adverse events,and improve the ability of nursing staff to maintain PICC catheters.
