Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effects of Pursed-Lip Breathing (PLB) exercises on physiological parameters (such as respiratory rate, heart rate, and oxygen saturation) and discharge readiness in children diagnosed with pneumonia. The study is designed as a randomized controlled trial involving pediatric patients between the ages of 3 and 4. The intervention includes guided PLB exercises performed twice daily for three consecutive days. Data will be collected before and after each session to assess changes in physiological measures and readiness for hospital discharge.

BEHAVIORAL

Pursed-Lip Breathing (PLB)

Children in the intervention group will receive Pursed-Lip Breathing exercises twice daily for three days under nurse supervision. Exercises will be applied using playful techniques with a toy (e.g., saxophone ball). Physiological parameters will be measured before and after each session.
