Effectiveness of a Mastery Learning Education Program for Parents of Children Using Inhaler Therapy in an Emergency Unit
Sponsor: Emine ŞAHİN
Summary
Respiratory diseases account for a significant proportion of pediatric emergency department admissions, and effective management of respiratory conditions in children is crucial. Inhaler therapy is commonly used due to its rapid action, non-invasive nature, and ease of administration. However, the effectiveness of inhaler therapy largely depends on correct technique and adherence, particularly among children and their parents. Incorrect inhaler use may worsen clinical outcomes and increase respiratory complications. Educational interventions, including structured and technology-based training, have been shown to improve inhaler technique and treatment effectiveness. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a mastery learning-based educational program provided to children receiving inhaler therapy and their parents in a pediatric emergency department.

Interventions
Parent Education Program
Mothers will receive pre-procedure training using hospital-standard inhaler masks and educational brochures. Each step will be demonstrated, and mothers will perform the steps themselves. Training lasts about 15-20 minutes. Practical skills will be evaluated during the second inhaler administration using the Inhaler Treatment Application Checklist.
Routine Care
Parents will be informed about the study. Mothers who agree will complete consent and baseline forms. Initial inhaler administration skills will be evaluated using the Inhaler Treatment Application Checklist.
