The nursing quality score was improved from (97.54±1.19) points to (95.16±1.29) points, the difference was statistically significant (t=-4.70, P<0.01). The nurses′ satisfaction about scheduling was improved from 73.2%(60/82) to 96.3%(79/82), the difference was statistically significant (χ2=17.04, P<0.01).
