Core Tip This study pioneers a dual-strategy model that combines structured, theme-based games with practical parental coaching for children after appendectomy. This approach actively engages both child and parent in recovery, going beyond routine nursing. Results show it shortens hospital stays, reduces painkiller use, eases children’s emotional distress, and lowers caregiver anxiety. The model provides a practical, family-centered blueprint to improve pediatric surgical outcomes and overall care satisfaction.
