Objective Observation and exploration of storage and tracking management strategies for external instruments in disinfection supply room nursing, as well as their application value. Methods A retrospective study was conducted to select 160 external instruments from the disinfection supply room (sample included: 160 pieces; sample included time: June 2023 June 2024). The random number method was used as the basis for grouping, and the instruments were divided into two groups: control group and experimental group. The observation number was highly consistent, with 8 nursing staff in each group. Implement regular external instrument storage and tracking management, as well as comprehensive quality management strategies. Collect and analyze nursing outcomes. Results Compared with the control group (conventional external instrument storage and tracking management), the experimental group (comprehensive quality management strategy) had higher scores in nursing staff management ability (instrument management ability/risk identification ability/risk prevention awareness/environmental management ability), higher scores in external instrument management quality (cleaning quality score/packaging specification score/complete package labeling information score/wet package score after sterilization/five class chemical indicator card score inside the package/biological monitoring score), and lower rates of external instrument errors, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion Implementing a comprehensive quality management strategy in disinfection supply room nursing can effectively promote the improvement of nursing staffs management ability, improve the quality of external instrument management, reduce the incidence of external instrument errors, and has high practical value.
