Background. The PDCA cycle consists of four stages: P (plan), D (design), C (check), and A (action). With the wide acceptance of PDCA cycle, there is an urgent need to verify the effect of combining this concept with clinical nursing work. Therefore, on the basis of in‐depth study of a large number of related literature, the influence of PDCA cycle management mode on nurses’ work efficiency, work enthusiasm, and teamwork ability was explored, so as to provide reference experience for exploring the nursing quality management model adapted to the development of medicine. Objective. To explore the application of PDCA circulation management mode in clinical nursing work and to explore its influence on the work efficiency, enthusiasm, and team cooperation ability of nurses. Methods. From January 2019 to January 2021, the patients were divided into two groups. The control group received routine nursing care, and the research group received the PDCA circulation management mode. Both groups of nurses received one‐year training. The nursing quality, the ability of teamwork, the scores of personal quality control in clinical departments, the scores of nursing satisfaction, the number of problems in nursing document quality management, and nurses’ enthusiasm were compared between the two groups. Results. The scores of relationships and family and work balance were greater than those of the control group. The nursing quality result suggested the nursing quality of gynecological operation area, emergency operation area, comprehensive operation area, and surgical operation area in research nurses was significantly better than the control cases (P < 0.05). The quality management of nursing documents showed that the number of problems in nursing documents such as nursing record displayed fewer than control group (P < 0.05). The personal quality‐controlled checking in medical department showed that the points of ward governance, head nurse management quality control examination, first‐level nursing, recovery, publications on therapeutics, pill governance, and healthcare documentation in the research group were higher than control group (P < 0.05). The teamwork ability implied the scores of interpersonal communications, problem definition, project division, team evaluation assistance and motivation, data collection, interpretation, and extraction of results in the observation group were remarkably greater than those of control group (P < 0.05). The satisfaction mark showed that the scores of care information exchange, advanced technologies, attitude towards care providing, healthcare establishing, knowledge publicity, and learning in the researches were markedly more than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion. Compared with the traditional clinical nursing management, the use of the PDCA circulation management mode can effectively improve the quality of hospital nursing work, strengthen nurses’ ability of teamwork, improve nurses’ work efficiency and enthusiasm, enhance their sense of achievement of clinical nursing work, then improve patient satisfaction, and enhance the reputation and competitiveness of hospitals. Therefore, the PDCA management model is worth popularizing and applying in clinic.
