RESUMO
Objective To study the clinical efficacy of the use of PDCA cycle management method in colostomy bags replacement skills of colostomy patients in our gastrointestinal surgery department. Methods 81 colostomy patients from January to May 2017 were selected as control group with general colostomy nursing management method and 69 colostomy patients from June to October 2017 were selected as experimental group with PDCA cycle management method. Patients' colostomy bags replacement qualified rate and nurses' ARC procedure qualified rate are compared between control group and experimental group. Results The incidence of problems from experimental group (5. 7％) was significantly lower than that from control group (17. 5％) with statistically significant difference (x～ 2 = 66. 74, P＜0. 01); Patients' colostomy bags replacement qualified rate from experimental group (84. 1％) was significantly higher than that from control group (60％) with statistically significant difference (x ～2 = 11. 05, P＜0. 01); Nurses' ARC procedure qualified rate & excellent rate in October (100％& 75％) were significantly higher than those in June (75％ & 10％). Conclusion PDCA cycle management method can significantly improve colostomy bags replacement skills of colostomy patients, improve nurses' professional skills, improve nursing quality in our gastrointestinal surgery department.
