Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Data were collected at Edirne Sultan 1. Murat State Hospital Pediatrics Clinic between September 2023 and January 2024. Children aged 3-6 were included in the study. In the research, the sample was divided into three groups. 99 children participated in the study, 33 children in each group. Using the randomization program, it was determined which sample group the children would be included in.

In the study, reading fairy tales and coloring were used as distraction methods for the experimental group. Inhaler medication was administered via mask to the control group without any application. The implementation period of the research lasted an average of four months. Necessary ethical permissions were obtained before the research. In the study, the Child Fear Scale was used to measure the level of fear, the PedsQL Health Care Satisfaction Scale was used to measure parental satisfaction, and the Children's Emotional Indicators Scale was used to measure emotional indicators. Explanatory information about the application was given to the children and their parents by the researcher, and they were voluntarily informed and signed a consent form. Research data were collected by the researcher by meeting children and parents face to face.
