Core Tip	By comparing operating room nursing combined with psychological intervention vs routine care in children undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy, this study demonstrates that the combined approach offers greater clinical advantages. Specifically, it improves psychological and physical status, promotes smoother postoperative recovery, and increases nursing satisfaction while maintaining clinical safety, supporting its use as an optimized perioperative nursing strategy for pediatric patients.
