Abstract：Objective To investigate the role of quality control circle(QCC)activity on prevention of power peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC)blockage in breast cancer patients with chemotherapy. Methods 〓The QCC group was set up and the theme was identified as how to prevent PowerPICC catheter blockage. The nursing countermeasures to potential reasons of blockage were carried out. The incidence of PowerPICC catheter blockage was compared before implementation of QCC activity(between September, 2014 and February, 2015)after implementation of QCC activity(between February, 2015 and August, 2015). Results 〓The incidence of PowerPICC catheter blockage decreased from 14.4%(18/125)before QCC activity to 2.2%(3/132)after QCC activity. Conclusion 〓QCC activity can decrease the rates of PowerPICC catheter blockage in breast cancer patients with chemotherapy.
