The Effect of Using Nebula Bear on Anxiety and Fear During Nebulizer Application in Children

Many respiratory system diseases are treated with inhalers. Providing inhaler treatment is provided by nebulizer devices. Taking the exact and effective dose of inhaler treatment affects the patient's recovery process. The use of nebulizer devices in children differs from that in adults. For children, the nebulizer may seem foreign and scary, which may cause them to reject inhaler treatment. Therefore, it is important to reduce anxiety and fear in children during nebulizer treatment. Since it is thought that the nebulizer bear, which is planned to be used in the study to reduce these negative situations caused by nebulizer treatment, may be effective in reducing anxiety and fear in children, it is thought that the study will have a positive physical and psychological contribution to children and parents.

Play Dough and Picture Books: Reducing Anxiety and Fear in 3-6-Year-Olds During Nebulizer Treatment

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of play dough and picture books on physiological parameters, anxiety, and fear levels in children aged 3-6 undergoing nebulizer treatment. The trial will involve two groups: an intervention group engaging with play dough and picture books during treatment and a control group receiving standard care. Physiological data, including heart rate and oxygen saturation, will be monitored alongside behavioral assessments of anxiety and fear. This study seeks to determine whether these non-pharmacological interventions can alleviate distress in young children, contributing to more child-friendly treatment approaches in pediatric healthcare.
