Abstract

Nursing theories and models provide a framework for professionally organised nursing practice. One of the nursing theories that has an important place in nursing is 'comfort theory'. Developed by Katharine Kolcaba, comfort theory offers a broad perspective on nursing.

Our study aims to provide an example of the application of comfort theory in paediatric surgical clinics.
