The data was analyzed using χ2-test, t-test and ANCOVA using the SPSS program.
Results: The preoperative anxiety of children and their guardians was significantly improved in the experimental group compared to those in the control group. Postoperative nursing satisfaction was also significantly increased in the experimental group.
