Brief Summary: Incorporating playful elements into medical devices has been shown to enhance the overall experience for pediatric patients Children want a healthcare setting that is spacious creative imaginative and contemporary Additionally a current retrospective study of 127368 pediatric patients indicates that 7126 of the visits involved children under five years old and 2364 of the cases were due to respiratory infections This information highlights the prevalence of inhaler therapy in emergency departments particularly among young children with respiratory issues This study aims to evaluate the impact of using dragonturtle-themed nebulizer masks on treatment application time treatment adherence and fear levels in children who present to emergency rooms By addressing these environmental and procedural challenges the study seeks to improve the overall experience and outcomes for pediatric patients undergoing inhaler therapy
Detailed Description: The meaning of a disease or medical procedure may vary depending on the childs developmental milestones Children aged 3-6 years who are in the preoperational stage of cognitive development as defined by Piaget often perceive hospital environments with curiosity and fear This age group is characterized by a vivid imagination and limited understanding of the cause-and-effect relationship which can lead to misconceptions about medical procedures and devices For example they may believe that they are being punished or that procedures or medical devices are more painful than they are They may react with heightened anxiety clinginess or aggression Even using face masks for aerosol therapy may cause distress in young children as the masks can be perceived as scary or uncomfortable Young children prefer a hospital environment that is bright cheerful warm colorful and comfortable These environmental factors help reduce anxiety and create a more welcoming and less intimidating atmosphere for young patients

Emergency rooms are often not designed to accommodate agitated young patients featuring physical layouts that are not conducive to their care noisy and chaotic environments and limited access to therapeutic spaces The care team may also lack the resources to manage agitated children effectively On the other hand recent studies have highlighted the importance of creating child-friendly medical environments to reduce anxiety and improve cooperation during treatment This study aims to evaluate the impact of using dragonturtle-themed nebulizer masks on treatment application time treatment adherence and fear levels in children who present to emergency rooms
