Background Nowadays, people have paid more and more attention to the quality of physical and mental health recovery after oral surgery anesthesia. As a remarkable feature of patient quality management, it can effectively reduce the risk of postoperative complications and pain in Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). However, the patient management model in oral PACU remains unknown, especially in China. The purpose of this study is to explore the management elements of patient quality management in the oral PACU and to construct the management model. Methods Strauss and Corbin’s grounded theory method was used to explore the experiences of three anesthesiologists, six anesthesia nurses and three administrators working in oral PACU. Twelve semi-structured interviews were conducted using face-to-face in a tertiary stomatological hospital from March to June, 2022. The interviews were transcribed and thematically analysed according to QSR NVivo 12.0 qualitative analysis tool. Results Three themes and ten subthemes were identified through an active analysis process, including three of the core team members: stomatological anesthesiologists, stomatological anesthesia nurses and administrators, three of the main functions: education and training, patient care and quality control and four of the team operation processes: analysis, plan, do, check. Conclusion The patient quality management model of the oral PACU is helpful for the professional identity and career development of stomatological anesthesia staff in China, which can accelerate the professional development of oral anesthesia nursing quality. According to the model, the patient’s pain and fear will decrease, meanwhile, safety and comfort will increase. It can make contributions to the theoretical research and clinical practice in the future.
Background Nowadays, people have paid more and more attention to the health-related quality of life after oral surgery anesthesia. As a common feature of patient quality management, it can effectively reduce the risk of postoperative complications and death in oral Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). Still, little is known about the management model in oral PACU, especially in China. The purpose of this study is to explore the management elements of patient quality management in the oral PACU, and to construct the management model. Methods Using Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory method, medical staff(n = 12) from oral PACU of a tertiary stomatological hospital were interviewed by semi-structured interviews from March to June, 2022. With the help of QSR NVivo 12.0 qualitative analysis tool to collect and analyze data using a procedural grounded theory paradigm. Results In the end, the patient quality management model of oral PACU could be summarized into three themes: three of the core team members: stomatological anesthesiologists, stomatological anesthesia nurses and nursing administrators. Three of the main functions of the team: education and training, patient care and quality control. Four of the team operation processes: analysis, plan, do, check. Conclusion The patient quality management model of the oral PACU is helpful for the professional identity and career development of stomatological anesthesia staff in China, which can accelerate the professional development of oral anesthesia nursing quality. According to the model, the patient's pain and fear will decrease and safety and happiness will increase in oral PACU. It can make contributions to the theoretical research and clinical practice in the future.
