Analysis of the effect of quality control circle activities on reducing the incidence of local pain of peripheral intravenous potassium supplementation
Objective To explore the effect of quality control circle activities on reducing the incidence of local pain of peripheral intravenous potassium supplementation.Methods A quality control circle activity group was established in December 2021 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University,and 124 patients undergoing peripheral intravenous potassium supplementation in our department from January to July 2022 were selected as the control group.There were 52 males and 72 females,aged(48.03±17.96)years,with a body mass of(52.81±8.72)kg.The current situation of pain incidence was investigated and the causes were analyzed by using a single dimension pain scale(oral 5-point scoring method),and the key points for improvement were determined.The target value was set and the countermeasures were formulated.Ninety-four patients undergoing peripheral intravenous potassium supplementation in our department from January to June 2023 were selected as the observation group.There were 32 males and 62 females,aged(51.39±18.98)years,with a body mass of(54.17±6.99)kg.The quality control circle activities were carried out and continuous quality improvement was made.The incidences of pain in the two groups were compared and the causes were analyzed.Statistical methods used were x2 test and t test.Result The incidence of local pain in the observation group was lower than that in the control group[17.02%(16/94)vs.48.39%(60/124)],with a statistically significant difference(x2=23.16,P<0.05).Conclusion Quality control circle activities can effectively reduce the incidence of local pain in patients undergoing peripheral intravenous potassium supplementation,and improve the patients'medical experience and satisfaction.
