As nurses use theoretical research as systematic evidence for thinking and decision making, they increase their professional power. If the theory and based on evidence with theory practice nurses are used, they improve the quality of care. The purpose and desired result in nursing practices is to increase the comfort level of the patient. In the field of nursing, the use of comfort theory in patient care was developed by Katharine Kolcaba. The feeling of comfort is the expression of the feelings that the individual desires or needs in physical, mental and spiritual aspects. Kolcaba defines comfort as the state of helping an individual with their needs, providing peace of mind and being able to overcome problems. Cerebral Palsy is not a single disease that can occur as a result of various factors that affect brain development in prenatal, perinatal or postnatal periods, but it is a condition that includes many diseases in which motor functions are also at the forefront as a result of injuries in the central nervous system. It is of great importance for the care of the patients with Cerebral Palsy to meet the needs of both themselves and their families in the hospital or home environment and to ensure their comfort.
