A surgical operation is an iatrogenic procedure and a major intervention in the life of a child as well as the whole family. A visit to a health
care facility causes uncertainty, fear and distrust in most children since they encounter inevitable painful procedures here and gradually
gain new, often negative experience. Recently, a policy of hospital admission of child and mother together has been practised, as declared
in the EACH Charter for Children in Hospital. How the child will cope with the surgery itself and the postoperative psychological effects
depends much on the type of surgery as well as on the attitude of the nurse and the entire health care team.
