Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of continuous quality improvement (CQI) model in nursing after single channel percutaneous nephrolithotomy (S-PCNL). Methods A total of 56 patients with S-PCNL treated in Anqing First Peoples Hospital from December 2019 to May 2021 were selected for CQI mode nursing(group after CQI implementation). By analyzing the deficiencies and causes in the nursing process, CQI measures were formulated. And compared with 43 patients who received S-PCNL without CQI mode care from June 2018 to November 2019(group before CQI implementation). The incidence of complications, Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score, Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) score, disease awareness, quality of life score and nursing satisfaction were compared before and after the implementation of CQI model nursing. Results Before and after the implementation of CQI, the incidence of complications was 20.93% and 5.35% respectively, the SAS score was 58.48±4.65 and 49.29±3.61 respectively, the SDS score was 64.83±4.97 and 51.62±4.13 respectively, the excellent and good rate of disease cognition was 72.09% and 96.43% respectively, and the total score of nursing satisfaction was 68.28±8.37 and 96.11±8.61 respectively. After the implementation of CQI, the incidence of complications, SAS and SDS scores of patients were lower than those before CQI, and the excellent rate of disease cognition, the score of four indicators of quality of life and the total score of nursing satisfaction were higher than those before CQI (P<0.05,P＜0.01). Conclusion CQI nursing for patients undergoing S-PCNL can reduce the incidence of complications, alleviate patients negative emotions, and improve quality of life, disease awareness and nursing satisfaction.
