Methods: This was a small scale study of a random sample of 20 nurses working in a hospital ward in Qazvin, Iran. Participants were asked to respond to a questionnaire on importance and application of the TQM dimensions at two pints in time: at baseline (before intervention) and after an educational intervention at three moths follow-up. Data were analyzed using the Paired-t test by SPSS software.
Results: There were significant differences on mean scores of the TQM application on several TQM damnations such as customer (patient) attention (P=0.035), staff participation (P=0.037), and patient-nurse communication (P=0.050) before and after intervention. However, there was no significant difference in TQM concept application before and after educational intervention (P=0.014).
