Abstract
Objective: To analyze the effect of quality control circle on the central sterile supply department (CSSD). Methods: The control group and the observation group each consisted of 180 instruments received by the sterilization supply center from January to March 2023 and 11 CSSD staff. The control group underwent routine management while quality control circle was implemented in the observation group. The quality of work, disinfection and sterilization qualification rates, disinfection and sterilization of various instruments, cleaning indicators, and management satisfaction of both groups were compared. Results: The observation group scored higher in terms of work quality, the qualification rate of disinfection and sterilization in each link, the disinfection and sterilization of instruments, and cleaning indicators compared to the control group. Besides, the management satisfaction of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: A quality control circle ensures the quality of work, improves the cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization of instruments of the CSSD, and improves the management satisfaction of the CSSD staff.
