Nursing care for accelerated recovery after surgery, supported by the ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocol, plays a key role in ensuring a faster and successful return of the patient to normal life. This holistic approach integrates precise planning, education, psychological support and continuous interaction with patients. Through education, nurses empower patients to take an active role in their own recovery, while psychological support helps them cope with emotional challenges. The ERAS protocol additionally optimizes the recovery process through rational pain management, prevention of complications and encouragement of early mobilization. Through the consistent application of nursing care and ERAS principles, patients are provided with comprehensive care that contributes to faster physical healing and increases the quality of life during the postoperative period. Nursing is critical to the successful implementation of ERAS. The role of the nurse will continue to evolve within the ERAS program just as the ERAS guidelines themselves change and as ERAS teams innovate to improve clinical outcomes for patients and health systems globally
