The study will be conducted with children aged 3 to 18 years and their parents at a single hospital in Turkey.Participation in the study is voluntary. Parents will be asked to complete questionnaires assessing their confidence in supporting their child's autonomy during the surgical process. Children's postoperative pain levels will be assessed using an age-appropriate pain rating scale during the early postoperative period.No experimental treatment or additional medical procedures will be performed as part of this study. All data will be collected as part of routine care and questionnaire assessments. The results of this study are expected to contribute to improved family-centered perioperative care for children undergoing minor surgery.
