Objective To investigate the value of quality control circle (QCC)activities in reducing the incidence of adverse factors for rapid recovery after surgical treatment for laryngeal cancer. Methods A convenient sample of 35 patients with surgical treatment for laryngeal cancer were selected as the control group, another 28 patients were recruited as the observation group. The quality control circle(QCC) activity group was set up by the medical and nursing integration. Based on the clinical practice, the adverse factors affecting the rapid recovery of laryngeal cancer patients were found, analyzed and improved through the QCC activities, and the effect analysis was carried out. Results Quality evaluation had been taken 225 times in the control group and 224 times in the observation group , respectively. The incidence of adverse factors affecting the rapid recovery of patients with laryngeal cancer decreased from 46.67% (105/225)to 11.61%(26/224), with a target achievement ratio of 126.56%. Shorter length of hospital stay and lower cost of hospitalization were found in the observation group than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The QCC activity an effective management tool for reducing the incidence of adverse factors in rapid recovery of laryngeal cancer patients, promoting medical and nursing cooperation, optimizing clinical pathways, improving the quality of medical care, shortening the length of hospitalization and reducing medical costs.
