Summary

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.

Before the application, Nebul will introduce the teddy bear to the mother and child. The teddy bear cannot be washed because it contains an electronic device. Therefore, it will be disinfected with a solution containing 60-70% alcohol before and after use. The recorded voice will then be played to the child and mother. Then, routine nebulizer treatment will be applied and the second audio recording will be played at the end of the treatment. The researcher will be with the child. At the end of the nebulizer treatment, after the mask is removed, the Child Fear Scale and the Child Anxiety Scale-State Scale will be filled out. The Child Fear Scale will be filled in by both the mother and the nurse and the average will be taken.
