Materials and Methods: This correlational study was conducted with 63 volunteer patients who underwent surgery. Results: There was a negative correlation between psychological well-being and postoperative pain level, and also, age of the patients. Conclusion and suggestions: The increased pain severity caused decreasing psychological well-being. Decreased psychological well-being may affect the healing process negatively by impairing the participation of patients in their own treatment and care. Nurses can help patients maintain their psychological well-being through good pre-operative psychological preparation and effective postoperative pain control.}, number={1}, publisher={Esra DEMİRARSLAN}
