Objective To explore the effect of project improvement in elevating the qualified rate of retained 24-h quantitative urinary protein specimens among children in our hospital’s Department of Pediatric Internal Medicine. Methods A project improvement team was set up. The 24-h quantitative urinary protein specimens of 61 pediatric patients collected from January to June 2021 were included in the control group. From the 5 aspects of “people, devices, materials, methods, and environment”, the causes underlying the unqualified 24-h quantitative urinary protein specimens were analyzed, and the major causes were discussed. Accordingly, feasible improvement measures were formulated and implemented by department staff. After that, the 24-h quantitative urinary protein specimens of 51 pediatric patients retained in our department from July to December 2021 were included in the observation group. Finally, a comparison was made between the qualified rates of retained specimens of the two groups. Results Following project improvement, the qualified rate of retained 24-h quantitative urinary protein specimens was obviously lifted from 78.7% to 94.1%. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Nursing project improvement is able to effectively elevate the qualified rate of retained 24-h quantitative urinary protein specimens. With the wisdom of the project improvement team, science-based approaches were adopted to address the clinical nursing issue and enhance the nursing quality. In this way, continuous quality improvement can be achieved, which in turn can make children and their family members feel more satisfied.
