Results After the health education according to nursing service scripts, the awareness rates of patients in the experimental group and control group were 92.9% and 80.15%. The difference between two groups was statistically significant (χ2=118.15, P<0.01) . Patients satisfaction rates in the experimental group and control group were 99.38% and 93.49% with statistically significant difference (χ2=103.82, P<0.05) .
