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 127,368 pediatric patients indicates that 71.26% of the visits involved children under five years old, and 23.64% 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 dragon/turtle-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.
