Objective? To investigate the effects of nursing quality improvement in chest pain center on patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods? A total of 93 patients with STEMI who received routine nursing care from July to December 2016 (n=30) and optimized quality nursing care from January to July 2017 (n=63) in the First Affiliated Hospital of He＇nan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were enrolled to the study. The patients＇ gender, age, and 18-lead ECG completion time, Door-To-Balloon time (D2B), myocardial injury marker report time, and their hospitalization days (d), were compared between the two groups. Results? The differences in the indicators including sex,age and 18-leads ECG completion time were not statistically different (P＞0.05). However, the differences in hospitalization time, D2B time, and myocardial injury marker report time had statistical significance (P＜ 0.05). Conclusions? The optimizing project of nursing quality management, including the optimization of nursing document writing, specialized instrument operation process and ward management index, can reduce patients＇ hospital stay, D2B time, and myocardial injury marker report time, hence improve the overall treatment quality for the patients.
