Evaluating the Application of the PDCA Cycle Model in Nursing Management of the Hospital Disinfection Supply Room

Abstract

Objective: To study the effectiveness of the PDCA cycle model in the nursing management of the disinfection supply room. Method: From March 2022 to February 2024, the hospital adopted the PDCA cycle model to manage the related work of the disinfection supply room. In this study, 40 nursing staff were selected as the research subjects. Sixty-five sets of data generated during the implementation of the PDCA model were selected, and 65 sets of similar data before the implementation were also selected. The relevant data information was compared and evaluated to understand the changes in work before and after the implementation of the PDCA cycle model management. Meanwhile, twenty departments in the hospital were selected to investigate the satisfaction before and after the implementation of the PDCA cycle model management. Result: After the implementation of the PDCA cycle model, the completion rates of various tasks were improved, and there was a significant difference compared with those before the implementation (P < 0.05). The work quality of each working link has also been improved since the implementation. Compared with that before the implementation of the PDCA cycle model, there are significant changes (P < 0.05). It can be learned from the comparison of satisfaction among various departments that the satisfaction of departments has improved after the implementation of PDCA, and there is a significant difference compared with that before the implementation (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The application of the PDCA cycle model in the nursing management of the disinfection supply room can effectively improve the working conditions of the disinfection supply room and provide a basic guarantee for hospital treatment. Therefore, the PDCA cycle management model can be actively adopted in the actual work management.
