The Impact of PDCA Management Cycle on Hand Hygiene and Hospital Infection Rate of Medical Staff
Objective To explore the impact of the plan to check act(PDCA)management cycle on hand hygiene compliance and hospital infection incidence among healthcare workers.Methods A total of 50 medical staff from Maoming People's Hospital to implement PDCA management cycle were randomly selected.The hand hygiene compliance,hand hygiene knowledge exam scores,pass rates,and hospital infection rates of medical personnel before implementation(January to December 2021,control group)and after implementation(January to December 2022,observation group)were compared.Results The observation group showed excellent hand hygiene compliance,with hand washing rates of 88.89%,93.06%,61.67%,83.89%,and 96.11%before and after contact with patients,surrounding environment,sterile operation,and body fluid exposure,respectively,significantly higher than the control group's 76.94%,80.33%,44.44%,65.00%,and 88.89%(P<0.05).The observation group's hand hygiene knowledge exam score and pass rate were(91.28±12.15)points and 96.00%,respectively,significantly higher than the control group's(82.37±10.23)points and 76.00%(P<0.05).The infection rate of the observation group(1.39%)was significantly lower than 6.39%of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The PDCA management cycle can rais the compliance of medical personnel with hand hygiene,while can enhancing their knowledge of hand hygiene and reducing the incidence of hospital infection,providing effective strategies for improving medical safety.
