Objective: To observe the effect of quality control circle activities on the incidence of orthostatic hypotension in hemiplegic patients with cerebrovascular diseases using electric standing bed.

Methods: The quality control circle activities group was established, and the activity themes were confirmed. The circulation management method was adopted to carry out the current situation investigation, the main causes analysis, the countermeasures decision and the effect evaluation. Ninety-four hemiplegic patients who met the case selection criteria from June to September 2018 were selected as the subjects before launching the quality control circle activities, and 94 hemiplegic patients who also met the case selection criteria from October to December 2018 were selected as the subjects after launching the quality control circle activities. A survey of the status quo was conducted, the main causes of orthostatic hypotension due to electric standing bed were analyzed, the corresponding countermeasures were decided, and the effect evaluation was carried out.

Results: The incidence of orthostatic hypotension decreased from 9.6% before launching the quality control circle activities to 2.1% after launching the quality control circle activities (P < 0.01), and the achievement rate and progress rate were 116.7% and 77.8%, respectively. Patient satisfaction increased from 69.1% to 97.9% (P < 0.01). 

Conclusion: Quality control circle activity can reduce the incidence of orthostatic hypotension in hemiplegic patients using electric standing bed and improve their satisfaction.
