Methods Selected 154 patients from the department of cardiology from April 2013 to April 2014 in the first people's hospital of Chunan county. These patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group. Normal nursing was given to the patients in the control group. Besides normal nursing, health education was conducted on the observation group. The SAS score, SDS score and the compliance were recorded and compared between those two groups. Results After health education, SAS score and SDS score of the patients in the ob-servation group and the control group were significantly lower than before health education(t=78.48, P<0.01; t=57.04, P<0.01), and the SAS score and SDS score of patients in control group were also significantly lower than before(t=26.99, P<0.01;t=24.4, P<0.01). While, after health education, the SAS score and SDS score of the patients in the obser-vation group were significantly lower than that of the patients in the control group(t=45.79, P<0.01; t=41.27, P<0.01). The compliance rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(x2=37.762,P<0.01), and the compliance of the patients in the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group(Z=-6.456, P<0.01).
