Summary:
It was aimed to examine the effects of distraction methods used during inhalation therapy on children's fear and anxiety.

Hypothesis:

Hypothesis 0 (H0): There is no difference between the fear and anxiety levels of children who received normal nebulizer + mask + distraction techniques and toy type nebulizer + toy mask during inhaler treatment and the children in the control group.

Hypothesis 1 (H1): The fear and anxiety levels of children who received normal nebulizer + mask + distraction techniques during inhaler treatment are lower than the children in the control group.

Hypothesis 2 (H2): The fear and anxiety levels of children who were applied a toy type nebulizer + toy mask during inhaler treatment are lower than the children in the control group.

Hypothesis 3 (H3): The fear and anxiety levels of children who were treated with a toy type nebulizer + toy mask during inhaler treatment were lower than those of children who were treated with a normal nebulizer + mask + distraction techniques.

Primary Outcome Measures: changing the anxiety, Children's Anxiety Meter- State (CAM-S) is designed like a thermometer, featuring a bulb at its base and horizontal markers at regular intervals as it ascends. Children are asked to represent their feelings on this scale by marking where they stand "right now". They are instructed, "Imagine that all your anxious or angry feelings are on the bulb or bottom part of the thermometer. If you are a little worried or nervous, the feelings may go up a little on the thermometer. If you are very, very anxious or nervous, emotions can go all the way to the top. Put a line on the thermometer showing how anxious or nervous you are." This scale provides scores ranging from 0 to 10. As the score increases, the level of anxiety increases., 'Before inhalation theraphy within 5 minutes', 'During inhalation theraphy' and 'After inhalation theraphy within 5 minutes'|changing the fear, Children's Anxiety Meter- State (CAM-S) is designed like a thermometer, featuring a bulb at its base and horizontal markers at regular intervals as it ascends.
