Appendicitis is an acute inflammatory disease of the appendix that can pose a serious threat to health, especially in children. Acute appendicitis in children requires quick and precise diagnosis and timely surgical intervention to avoid serious complications such as rupture of the appendix. In this context, the role of the nurse is extremely important, as it plays a key role in gathering information, monitoring the patient, providing emotional support and collaborating with the multidisciplinary team to ensure the best possible care for children with acute appendicitis. Nursing care for a child with acute appendicitis is a vital component of a quality healthcare approach. Nurses play a key role in various stages of illness including diagnosis, surgery and post-operative care. In the diagnostic phase, parents are educated about the importance of recognizing symptoms and reacting in a timely manner. During the surgical procedure, they provide support to the child and family and monitor his well-being. After surgery, the focus is on pain management, infection prevention and post-operative care education. The emotional support of nurses plays a key role in facilitating the recovery process. Overall, a multidisciplinary approach and collaboration between specialists is essential to ensure optimal care and positive outcomes for a child with acute appendicitis.
