Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of quality nursing in the management of reusable instruments in the Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD). Methods: Eleven nurses from the CSSD department were selected from January to October 2024, and quality nursing activities were implemented in the management of reusable instruments. The completion of quality indicators was analyzed. The instrument quality management scores, department satisfaction, and nurses’ professional ability scores before and after nursing management were compared. Results: After nursing intervention, the qualified rates of initial cleaning and final cleaning of sterilization instruments were 99.66% and 100%, respectively. The qualified rate of packaging was 99.97%, the wet package rate was 0.1‰, the loading qualified rate was 99.88%, and the qualified rate of distribution was 99.99%. After nursing intervention, the nurses’ instrument quality management scores, department satisfaction, and nurses’ professional ability scores were all higher than those before nursing intervention (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Quality nursing activities can improve the cleaning, packaging, and sterilization qualified rates of reusable instruments in the CSSD, enhance the effect of instrument quality management, obtain higher department satisfaction from nurses, cultivate their professional abilities, and possess significant nursing management advantages.
