Abstract: Objective To explore the effectiveness of quality control circles on intradialytic exercise participation rate in young and middle- aged hemodialysis patients. Methods A quality control circles group was established before carrying out a quality control circles activity using the methods and steps of quality control circles and selecting a theme of“ promotion of intradialytic exercise participation rate of young and middle- aged hemodialysis patients”. Results The intradialytic exercise participation rate after the implementation of quality control circles increased from 19.23% to 89.74%, and the difference was statistically significant
(χ²=55, P＜0.05). Conclusion The quality control circles activity carrying out in young and middle-aged hemodialysis patients can improve exercise participation rate in the process of dialysis.
