Effect of continuous quality improvement on standardizing insulin pen injection in diabetic liaison nurses
Objective To investigate the effect of continuous quality improvement on standardizing insulin pen injection in diabetic liaison nurses.Methods This was a self-controlled study.The diabetic specialist group of Quanzhou Women and Children's Hospital set up an insulin pen injection continuous improvement group in June 2022,including 1 deputy chief nurse and 9 supervisor nurses.The compliance rate of insulin pen injection of 36 diabetic liaison nurses[aged(35.17±4.07)years,working years of(12.61±5.41)years]from June 2022 to December 2022 was continuously improved.The scores and qualified rates of theoretical knowledge and operation and standard attainment rate of insulin pen injection among the diabetic liaison nurses were compared before and after improvement.Paired t test and x2 test were used.Results After improvement,the qualified rate of theoretical knowledge of the diabetic liaison nurses was higher than that before improvement[100.00%(36/36)vs.77.78%(28/36)],and the qualified rate of operation was higher than that before improvement[100.00%(36/36)vs.61.11%(22/36)],with statistically significant differences(x2=9.00 and 17.38,both P<0.05).After improvement,the compliance rate of insulin pen injection of the diabetic liaison nurses was higher than that before improvement[100.00%(36/36)vs.55.56%(20/36)],with a statistically significant difference(x2=20.57,P<0.05).Conclusion Continuous quality improvement can improve the qualified rates of theoretical knowledge and operation of insulin pen injection of diabetic liaison nurses,and improve the standard rate of insulin pen injection.
