This study also compared the pass rates of PICC maintenance before and after the implementation.Result The pass rate of PICC maintenance was increased from 44.4%before manipulation of PICC to 71.7%after its use(χ2=17.63,P<0.01).Conclusion By the application of QCC,the pass rate of PICC maintenance for discharged cancer children can be effectively raised and the teamwork spirits of nurses may be consolidated as well.
