Methods From June 2020 to June 2021, 27 nurses in The First Heart Ward of Department of Cardiology, Xiamen Cardiovascular Hospital of Xiamen University were selected as the research subjects. The action research method was used to continuously explore with nurses to influence the writing of nursing documents through three rounds of planning, action, observation and reflection. The total score of nursing document quality control and the score of temperature sheet, evaluation sheet and nursing record sheet were compared before the action study (June 2020), after the first round of action study (October 2020) and after the third round of action study (June 2021). Results After the third round of action research, the total scores and the scores of nursing documents, temperature charts, assessment sheets, and nursing record sheets were higher than those before and after the first round of action research, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.01).
