Psychological and physiological issues encountered by family members due to the intraoperative process are factors that complicate the support and care systems of the patient. It is stated that family members of patients undergoing surgery, especially those who do not have sufficient information about the surgical process, experience stress, anxiety, and concern. The need for nursing interventions aimed at providing information about the surgical process, reducing the anxiety levels of family members during the surgery, and supporting them is emphasized.
