Effect of quality control circle on nursing in orthopaedic trauma surgery

To explore the application effect of Quality Management Circle (QCC) in nursing of orthopaedic trauma surgery.

The clinical data of 134 cases undergoing orthopaedic trauma surgery were assigned into 2 groups according to different nursing methods. Thereinto, 67 cases with traditional nursing were considered as the control group (CG), and the left with traditional nursing and QCC activities were assigned as the study group (SG). The pain (VAS) score and psychological fluctuation index were observed and compared at various time points after operation. The recorded indexes included anxiety (SAS) and depression (SDS) scores before and after intervention, limb joint activity, health knowledge awareness rate, satisfaction rate, quantitative score of quality of life and nosocomial infection rate.

After intervention, the VAS scores in the SG were lower than those in the CG 2 weeks after intervention (all P<0.05). The quantitative scores of SDS and SAS in the SG after intervention were lower than those in the CG (all P<0.05). After that, the range of motion of lower limb joints in the SG was higher than that in the CG (all P<0.05). The awareness rate of health knowledge in the SG was higher than that in the CG (all P<0.05). The satisfaction rate of the SG was higher than that of the CG (P<0.05). The score level of each index of quality of life in the SG was higher than that in the CG (all P<0.05). There was no marked difference in nosocomial infection rate (P>0.05).

The application of QCC on patients undergoing orthopaedic trauma surgery can not only reduce patients' pain, negative emotions, but also improve limb joint activity, health knowledge awareness rate, satisfaction rate and quality of life.
