Application of quality control circle in reducing incidence of incontinence-associated dermatitis / 现代临床护理

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of quality control circle on the prevalence of incontinence-associated dermatitis.Methods We set up a quality control circle group,analyzing the current situations,set the goals and analysed the causes of the high incidence of incontinence-associated dermatitis in the ICU after deciding a specific subject and then we developed strategies.The two groups were compared in terms of knowledge on the dermatitis,assessment of the dermatitis risks,the dermatitis-related management and the incidence of incontinence-associated dermatitis.Results After manipulation of the quality control circle,the aims of incontinence dermatitis related knowledge,risks assessment and management process were all achieved.The scores on nurses knowledge on the dermatitis,ability in solving problems,quality control operation,confidence,ability in coordination,and team work spirits were all significantly higher than those before the manipulation of the circle (P＜0.01) and the incidence of incontinenceassociated dermatitis was statistically significantly lower (P＜0.001).Conclusion The management based on the quality control in the ICU of neurology department can effectively reduce the neurology incidence of incontinence-associated dermatitis and improve the nurses professional skills.
