The experimental group were cared with nursing intervention methods and the control group were rouotinely cared. The nursing satisfaction and the incidence of complications were compared between these two groups.
Results
The nursing satisfaction was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (97.9% vs. 87.5%,P< 0.05). The incidence of complications after surgery was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (P< 0.05).
