Objective To assess the effect of quality control circle on blood pressure and metabolic syndrome in patients with newly diagnosed primary hypertension. Methods Review health examination in 132 cases of newly diagnosed patients with primary hypertension as the control group, routine health education was given. The 128 cases of patients with newly diagnosed primary hypertension as the intervention group and the prospective study was done.The quality control group of quality control circle was set up in order to improve treatment adherence for patients with newly diagnosed primary hypertension, and the nursing intervention was implied for the intervention group for 6 months. Blood pressure and metabolic syndrome were compared between the two groups. Results The compliance rate was improved from 56.3%(72/128) to 90.6%(116/128) after intervention in the intervention group. There was significant difference before and after intervention (χ2=62.57, P<0.01).The systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride (TG), fasting blood glucose (FBG) and waist circumference were (151.6±11.3) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (98.6±12.1) mmHg, (1.98±0.36) mmol/L, (6.37±1.25) mmol/L, (92.88±6.90) cm respectively before intervention in the intervention group and were (132.6±14.3) mmHg, (82.5 ± 12.5) mmHg, (1.53 ± 0.17) mmol/L, (5.34 ± 1.06) mmol/L, (83.29 ± 5.47) cm respectively after intervention. There was statistically significant difference before and after intervention in the intervention group(t=7.11-12.79, P<0.05). The systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, TG, FBG and waist circumference were (150.4 ± 10.6) mmHg, (99.4 ± 10.8) mmHg, (1.94 ± 0.39) mmol/L, (6.52 ± 0.29) mmol/L, (91.37±6.03) cm respectively before intervention in the control group and were (145.3±13.7) mmHg, (92.6± 10.9) mmHg, (1.86 ±0.31) mmol/L, (6.02±0.27) mmol/L, (93.86±6.52) cm respectively after intervention. There was significant difference in systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure before and after intervention in the control group (t=3.38, 5.09, P<0.05). But the difference was not statistically significant in TG, FBG and waist circumference (t=1.85, 1.27, 1.93, P>0.05). The difference of systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,TG, FBG and waist circumference between two groups was statistically significant after the intervention (t=6.77-12.84,P<0.05). The intervention group was significantly better than the control group. Conclusions The quality control circle may improve treatment adherence and it is helpful to improve the metabolic syndrome and it has high clinical application value for the treatment of primary hypertension.
