The authors established a good nurse-patient relationship holding in an empathy manner during this caring period. Before the operation, they supported and encouraged the patient. They also explained the details of the surgery and the post-operation care plans. These improved the patient’s knowledge of the surgery and alleviated her anxiety. Throughout the operation, via maintaining a safe and comfortable environment, complying with all safety protocols, as well as monitoring constantly the patient, they reduced the possibility of complications the patient might have.
