Objective To study and analyze the application effect of PDCA cycle nursing management in the central sterile supply department and its influence on the re-washing rate of instruments. Methods In 2023, there were 10 staff members in the central sterile supply department of our hospital. From January to June 2023, 3734 instruments were collected, which was the control group, and conventional nursing management was used. From July to December 2023, 3900 instruments were collected, which was the observation group, and PDCA cycle nursing management was adopted. The effects of different nursing management methods were analyzed. Results After evaluating the quality of nursing management in the central sterile supply department, the score of the observation group was slightly higher after management intervention (P < 0.05). In the analysis of instrument cleaning quality, the re-washing rate of instruments in the observation group was effectively controlled (P < 0.05). In the professional ability assessment of the staff in the central sterile supply department, the summary of the assessment results showed that all assessment indicators were higher in the observation group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The application of PDCA cycle in the nursing management of the central sterile supply department can not only achieve good nursing management quality but also effectively control the re-washing rate of instruments and help improve the professional ability of the staff.
