Objective To use the PDCA cycle model to promote standardized blood pressure measurement among nursing staff in clinical nursing work, ensuring accurate blood pressure measurement. Methods The blood pressure measurement of 148 newly admitted patients in the internal medicine building of our hospital from March 7, 2022 to March 11, 2022 was set as before improvement, and 132 newly admitted patients from November 7, 2022 to November 11, 2022 were set as after PDCA cycle improvement. Compare the standardization rate of blood pressure measurement among nursing staff before and after improvement, the awareness rate of theoretical knowledge related to blood pressure measurement among nursing staff, patient satisfaction, and the compliance rate of patient preparation before and after blood pressure measurement. The standardized rate of blood pressure measurement among nursing staff after PDCA cycle improvement (98.53%) was higher than before improvement (61.81%), the theoretical knowledge awareness rate of blood pressure measurement among nursing staff after improvement (97.58%) was higher than before improvement (72.46%), the patient preparation compliance rate before and after blood pressure measurement improvement (94.58%) was higher than before improvement (89.42%), and the patient satisfaction rate after improvement (98.43%) was higher than before improvement (95.68%). Conclusion The application of PDCA cycle can effectively promote the standardized measurement of blood pressure by nursing staff in clinical nursing work, ensure the accuracy of blood pressure measurement, improve the theoretical knowledge level of blood pressure measurement among nursing staff, and enhance patient compliance and satisfaction.
