Abstract

Objective:

To evaluate the effect of PDCA cycle management to improve the rational use of benzodiazepines for dementia patients with sleep disorders.

Method:

In November 2018, the quality assessment group was set up and analyzed the situation of benzodiazepines for dementia patients with sleep disorders during the last four months. The use of benzodiazepines was managed using PDCA cycle from December 2018 to January 2020. The rate of assessment in sleep, rational use of benzodiazepines and incidence rate of adverse effects were compared before and after implementation of PDCA cycle.

Results:

After 4 to 7 PDCA cycles, the evaluation rate of sleep disorders in patients with dementia increased from 7.1% to 98.0%(P < 0.01), and the rational use of benzodiazepines in dementia with sleep disorders increased from 44.7% to 99.0%(P < 0.01). The total adverse effects rate dropped significantly(P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

The PDCA cycle can effectively promote the rational use of benzodiazepines in dementia with sleep disorders, which is worth popularizing in clinical practice.

Key words
