Abstract :Wearable technologies have gained an increasing place in healthcare services and have an important potential in the field of surgical nursing. These technologies offer innovative solutions to optimise postoperative care processes, increase patient safety and accelerate the healing process. These devices, which monitor many physiological parameters such as heart rate, respiratory functions, activity level and wound healing in real time, help nurses to perform patient management more effectively. While traditional patient monitoring methods usually require the direct intervention of healthcare professionals, wearable health technologies allow patients to be monitored in real time and individualised care approaches can be developed. These systems, which instantly monitor biometric data such as heart rate, oxygen saturation, body temperature and mobility, both support the decision-making processes of healthcare professionals and increase patient comfort. Integration of these technologies into surgical nursing practices has the potential to increase the quality of patient care while reducing costs on healthcare systems. However, studies in this field are limited and more research is needed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of wearable devices, patient satisfaction and nurses\\\' attitudes towards the use of these technologies. In order to fully utilise the opportunities offered by wearable technologies in postoperative nursing care, more scientific studies should be conducted in the field of surgical nursing and the integration of these technologies into practice should be supported.
