Care of a patient who underwent salpingo-oophorectomy due to ovarian tumour according to kolcaba comfort theory: a case report
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. In this study, the problems experienced by a 15-year-old patient who was diagnosed with a right ovarian tumour and underwent salpingo-oophorectomy were assessed from the perspective of comfort. Our study aims to provide an example of the application of comfort theory in paediatric surgical clinics.
