About this trial

This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effect of holistic nursing care applied during the postoperative period on children's satisfaction with care and their perception of nursing image. The study will be conducted in the Pediatric Surgery Clinic of Antalya Training and Research Hospital with children aged 8 to 11 years who undergo surgical procedures.

Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. All children will receive routine postoperative nursing care. In addition to routine care, children in the intervention group will participate in a mandala coloring activity accompanied by music. This supportive activity is designed to help children relax, express their feelings, and improve their hospital experience.

Data will be collected using standardized questionnaires that measure children's satisfaction with nursing care and their perception of nurses. The study aims to determine whether holistic nursing practices can improve children's satisfaction and positively influence how they perceive the nursing profession.
