In this article, we report our findings concerning the evaluation of changes in satisfaction with changes in a puerperal nursing education program. A one-month study of 73 cases receiving puerperal nursing consultation revealed a satisfaction score of 3.19 out of a total core score of 5. The lowness of this score could be attributed to nursing factors (inconsistent and insufficient teaching materials), puerperal factors (too many and to complex teaching materials as well as insufficient practice), and policy factors (vagueness of SOP and a lack of assigned work responsibilities). In response to these findings, we re-edited the puerperal nursing teaching materials, implemented bedside teaching and practice, implemented a group educational program, made a clearer set of SOP and checklists, and assigned clear work responsibilities. In our second evaluation, we found the satisfaction score rose to 4.27, which was a significant increase (p<0.05) as determined by our statistical analysis which was performed on SPSS 12.0. The knowledge and skills of puerperal women were improved, complaints were reduced, and satisfaction with nursing care promoted.
