This research was carried out to determine the effect of the parent's presence near the child during the dressing process on the severity of pain caused by the dressing. The sample of the descriptive comparative study consisted of 60 children. Ethics committee and study permission were obtained from the relevant institutions. Data were collected by observation and face-to-face interviews using the “Individual Characteristics Form” and the YBATT (facial expression, legs, activity, crying, and being able to be consoled) pain assessment scale. In the examination of the way parents supported their children during the painful procedure, it was observed that 13 (43.4%) of them used remote monitoring approach. The mean dressing time of the children showed a significant difference according to the parent variable; it was determined that the dressing time of the children with a parent present (7.5 min) was higher than the dressing time of the children without a parent present (6.3 min). In this study, it was seen that the presence of the parent with the child during the dressing did not affect the severity of the pain, the presence of the parent extended the dressing time, and the parents were in the approach of remote monitoring as a way of supporting the child during the procedure.
