Detailed Summary
Treatment methods with nebulizers are used in the treatment of many diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, bronchiolitis and cystic fibrosis in children. Because inhalation therapy with a face mask is scary for children, it can be difficult to provide this therapy effectively and safely. Adaptation of the child and family is important for the success of inhalation therapy. Distraction techniques are among the most commonly used cognitive/behavioral methods. It determines the effect of "playing video games" and "watching cartoons" methods, which are active distraction methods during inhalation therapy, on the level of fear and anxiety.
