Application effect of quality control circle in postoperative functional exercise compliance of breast neoplasms patients:a meta-analysis

Background:Good adherence to post-operative exercise is crucial for long-term exercise intervention programs aimed at improving compliance,motivation for functional exercise,and quality of life among breast cancer patients.This study aims to evaluate the application effect of quality control circles on postoperative functional exercise compliance in breast neoplasm patients.Methods:A comprehensive search was conducted in CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,CBM,PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science and CINAHL databases from their establishment to May 06,2023.Manual search and backtracking of relevant literature were also conducted.The search terms included a combination of subject terms and free words.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software on eligible literature.Results:Initially,517 papers were retrieved,and after removing duplicates 238 papers using NoteExpress software,279 titles and abstracts were reviewed.Subsequently,225 non-compliant papers were excluded,leaving 54 full texts to be read.After excluding 38 non-compliant papers,16 eligible papers were included for Meta-analysis.These papers comprised a total of 1,342 patients(679 in the test group and 663 in the control group).The heterogeneity test using a fixed effects model showed P=0.22 and I2=21%.The Meta-analysis results demonstrated that the implementation of quality control circles alongside usual care significantly improved compliance with postoperative functional exercise in breast cancer patients(odds ratio=6.68,95%confidence interval(4.97,8.98),P<0.00001).Conclusion:Quality control circles activities can effectively enhance compliance with post-operative functional exercise among breast cancer patients,aiding in the recovery of affected limb function,improvement of self-care ability,and early reintegration into society and normal life,thereby enhancing quality of life.It is important to continually accumulate experience in applying relevant quality control circles activities in clinical work and promptly enhance the level of care accordingly,as the functional exercise of breast cancer patients after surgery involves a long-term and gradual improvement process.

Construction of a New Model of Contactless Medical Services for Outpatients Based on the Project-Achieving Quality Control Circle

Objective: To carry out empirical research on the role of project-achieving quality control circle (QCC) in constructing a new model of contactless medical service for outpatients. Methods: A QCC, consisting of information office members from a grade A tertiary hospital in Wenzhou, was established to conduct a research project with the theme “Constructing a new model of contactless medical service based on outpatients’ experience.” According to the ten steps and PDCA cycle, an analysis was carried out before and after the QCC activities, focusing on improving pre-consultation services, providing steward-like services, and facilitating post-consultation management. Results: After the QCC activities, the mobile appointment rate, missed appointment rate, the proportion of smart check-ins, and the average check-in time were 55.68%, 4.02%, 39.75%, and 8.24 ± 3.66 min, respectively;in contrast, before the activities, they were 32.00%, 7.88%, 0.00%, and 14.96 ± 4.98 min, respectively;the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2 = 3480.112, 4994.496;Fisher’s exact probability = 963788.570;t = 5.323, P < 0.001). Many experts have also visited the hospital to learn about this system, thus rendering social and economic benefits. Conclusion: Project-achieving QCC activities are suitable for complex situations, such as constructing a new model of contactless medical service, and can significantly improve outpatient service quality, enhance patients’ experience, and improve the abilities of circle members.
