Researchers are investigating how parents' confidence in supporting their child's independence affects the child's pain after minor surgery. This study focuses on children aged 3 to 18 years and their parents at a hospital in Turkey. The goal is to better understand family-centered care during the surgical process and improve pain management for children. Parents will complete a questionnaire before surgery to measure their confidence in helping their child be independent during the surgical experience. Children will have their pain levels measured after surgery using a child-friendly pain scale at 0, 2, and 6 hours post-operation. No extra treatments or procedures are part of the study, and all care follows standard hospital practices. Participants will be observed during routine care, with data collected from questionnaires and pain assessments. The study will analyze the link between parental confidence and children's pain levels using statistical methods. This information may help develop better nursing care focused on families to improve children's recovery after minor surgeries.

This research aims to evaluate the effect of a pressure ulcer care package on reducing the risk of pressure ulcer development in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. The study is designed as a randomized controlled trial involving patients who have surgery in the Orthopaedics and Traumatology Clinic at Doğubayazıt Dr. Yaşar Eryılmaz State Hospital. Participants will be volunteers who meet the study's inclusion criteria. Participants will receive a pressure ulcer prevention package prepared by the researchers. This intervention will be applied during the study to assess its impact on pressure ulcer risk after surgery. The study focuses on patients undergoing orthopedic surgical procedures under general or spinal anesthesia. During the study, researchers will collect data using forms such as the Personal Information Form, the 3S Operating Theatre Pressure Wound Risk Assessment Scale, and the Pressure Wound Regions and Stages Monitoring Form based on the NPUAP 2016 Pressure Wound Staging System. The main outcome measured is the formation of pressure ulcers three days after surgery. Statistical analysis will be conducted using SPSS 25 to evaluate the results.
