Application of quality control circle in improving the awareness rate of closed drainage of thoracic cavity related knowledge in patients after cardiovascular surgery
Objective To investigate the application effect of quality control circle in improving the awareness rate of closed drainage of thoracic cavity related knowledge in patients after cardiovascular surgery.Methods The quasi-experimental research method was adopted.A total of 60 patients after cardiovascular surgery,including 32 males and 28 females,who were hospitalized in the Department of Cardiac Surgery of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital,Southern Medical University from June to July 2022 were selected as a control group.In order to address the status quo,the problems which urgently need to be improved were put forward,then the causes were analyzed,and the corresponding measures were took.A total of 60 patients after cardiovascular surgery,including 40 males and 20 females,who were hospitalized from February to April 2023,were selected as an observation group,and the quality control circle activities were carried out for them.After continuous strengthening of management in detail,we standardized implementation of each link,improved the status quo,then made a pre-and post-evaluation,and summarized the experiences of this activity.x2 test was used.Results In the control group,3 cases had excellent knowledge,3 cases had good knowledge,2 cases had fair knowledge,and 52 cases had poor knowledge.In the observation group,37 cases had excellent knowledge,11 cases had good knowledge,7 cases had fair knowledge,and 5 cases had poor knowledge.The awareness rate of closed drainage of thoracic cavity related knowledge in the observation group was higher than that in the control group[91.67%(55/60)vs.13.33%(8/60)],with a statistically significant difference(x2=70.61,P<0.001).The nurses'mastery of closed drainage of thoracic cavity related knowledge in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(100.00%vs.95.45%).Circle members'sense of responsibility,team spirit,communication skills,thoracic closed drainage and quality control circle related knowledge,problem-solving ability,and self-expression value had been improved.Conclusions Quality control circle activities can improve the awareness rate of closed drainage of thoracic cavity related knowledge in patients after cardiovascular surgery,promote their recovery,and shorten their hospitalization period.For nurses,quality control circle can improve their relevant knowledge,thus provide patients with comprehensive,high quality,and safe nursing services.For hospitals and departments,it enhances the team cohesion,reduces the consumption of medical resources,lowers the medical costs,and improves the overall image of departments and hospitals.
