Abstract: Objective To explore the application of the PDCA cycle in the process management of pressure ulcer.Methods Between January in 2009 and December in 2010,there were 418 cases of pressure ulcer from outside and inside the hospital as control group,which applied routine pressure ulcer management.From January in 2011 to Decemberin 2012,there were 389 cases of pressure ulcer from outside and inside the hospital as experimental group,which applied PDCA in the process management of pressure ulcer.Then,compared the results between two groups.Results After the intervention,the improved ratio and cured rate of patients in experimental group was significantly higher than that in control group (81.0％ vs 70.1％,41.7％ vs 21.1％),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =11.538,4.551,respectively; P ＜ 0.05).The missing report rate was significantly lower than that in control group(4.1％ vs 8.1％ ;x2 =5.605,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The application of PDCA in the process of pressure ulcer management can improve the cure rate and decrease missing report rate.
