Abstract: Objective To study the effects of quality control circles ( QCC ) on the incidence of aspiration after stroke. Methods Control group included the patients in Yantaishan hospital from April 2012 to September 2012. QCC group included the patients in Yantaishan hospital from April 2013 to September 2013. The incidences of aspiration after stroke then were evaluated. Results The incidence of aspiration after stroke in control group was 41. 3%. Whereas the incidence of aspiration after stroke in QCC group was 21. 5%. The findings showed that incidence of aspiration after stroke in QCC group was lower than that in control group (χ2 =21. 96,P<0. 01). Conclusions QCC could significantly reduce the incidence of aspiration after stroke. Therefore, QCC can be used as an effective tool to improve medical quality in the patients of stroke.
