Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The use of nebulizers in children is one of the most common noninvasive methods used in respiratory system diseases. This application can cause anxiety and stress in children in hospital environments, especially in emergency departments. Our aim in this study is to evaluate the effect of pet therapy on anxiety, pulse and saturation in children between the ages of 3-6 who receive nebulizer treatment in units such as emergency departments.

Detailed Description

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

With nebulizer drug application, drugs such as bronchodilators, antibiotics, anticholinergics, corticosteroids are delivered directly to the lungs by inhalation. In nebulizer drug applications, the amount of drug, the method of administration, the duration, and the position of the patient are the most important criteria to be followed in order to administer the drug appropriately and effectively. Any disruption in any of these applications negatively affects the treatment process. Stress and anxiety experienced during nebulizer treatment in children can cause undesirable results in vital signs such as pulse. Treatment can therefore cause disruption. Although this application does not cause pain, being in a hospital environment and being an intervention applied by health professionals can cause anxiety in children. In addition, symptoms such as tachycardia are observed in children with some drugs administered via nebulizer. Many animal applications are used in animal-assisted therapies and it is emphasized that the stress of child patients decreases with these methods. In nebulizer drug use, the anxiety experienced by children due to both the mask and drug interactions applied in drug treatment and the changes in vital signs they encounter due to drug interactions have been tried to be supported with changing applications in the literature. However, when we look at the literature, we have not found any studies using pet therapy during nebulizer use.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control group

Control group; Standard application was provided to the children in the control group during the use of nebulizer. Fish in a bowl application was not given. However, in order to prevent bias in the study, children in the control group were also provided contact with fish after all data related to the study were collected.

intervention group

Intervention Type OTHER

Before using the nebulizer, children were given 2 fish in a bowl accompanied by their parents. The child patient was in the fowler/semifowler position, the movements of the fish were monitored during the nebulization period, and the fish was fed by the child during this process (Communication was provided for at least 5 minutes.)
