Combined Quality Management and Preventive Care in Cesarean Sections: Effects on Maternal Infection

To explore and analyze the application of combined intervention of quality management and preventive care in cesarean section parturients and its impact on maternal infection.

A total of 130 parturients who underwent cesarean section in our hospital from January 2023 to December 2024 were enrolled. They were divided into study group and control group (65 cases each). The control group received routine nursing intervention, while the study group received combined intervention of quality management (systematic process improvement) and preventive care (complication-focused interventions). The application effects, infection status, nursing quality, and quality of life were compared.

Baseline data (age, gestational weeks) showed no significant difference (p>0.05). The study group showed significantly better postoperative recovery than the control group. The study group demonstrated better postoperative recovery, significantly lower Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain scores at all time points, and higher disease understanding scores versus the control group. The study group also had lower total infection rates, reduced bacterial detection, higher Chinese Quality of Life 74 (CQOL-74) scores, improved nursing quality, and higher satisfaction (p<0.05).

The combined intervention significantly promotes recovery, reduces pain, enhances disease understanding, and controls maternal infection in cesarean section parturients. It improves nursing quality, quality of life, and satisfaction, offering new clinical insights.
