Abstract:

Objective To understand the effectiveness of the Plan-Do-Check-Act(PDCA) cycle in the prevention and control of acute respiratory infectious diseases in hospitals,and to evaluate its impact on hospital infection prevention and control. Methods A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 200 healthcare workers from 12 departments of a grade-A tertiary hospital in Xiamen City,divided into a PDCA group and a control group. The PDCA group implemented the PDCA cycle management mode,which included standardized management of prevention and control work,personnel training,and material management measures. The differences between two groups of medical staff in terms of the qualification rate of object surface monitoring,the qualification rate of medical waste management,the qualification rate of hand hygiene,mastery level of respiratory disease prevention and control knowledge,and patient satisfaction were analyzed. Results The implementation of the PDCA cycle significantly improved the qualification rate of object surface monitoring in the PDCA group from 77.78% to 94.45%(P<0.01),and the hand hygiene compliance rate also increased from 47.00% to 78.00%(P<0.01),while the control group showed no significant improvement in these aspects. The PDCA group outperformed the control group in terms of accuracy in respiratory disease prevention and control knowledge and patient satisfaction(both P<0.05). The qualified rate of medical waste management had improved in both groups,but there were no statistically significant difference in the wearing of protective measures between the two groups and before and after implementation(both P>0.05). Conclusion The PDCA cycle management mode has significant application value in the management of acute respiratory infectious diseases grade-A tertiary hospitals. It can effectively enhance the prevention and control effect,improve healthcare workers' prevention and control ability,and improve patient satisfaction,providing a practical and effective management strategy for hospitals in the infection control of acute respiratory infectious disease.
