- Detailed Description
Asthma is a chronic obstructive disease that is common in children worldwide. This study aims to examine the effects of a digital game designed for respiratory training in childhood asthma.
Fifteen children aged 8-14 years with asthma were included in the study. There were two groups a digital game group (n=9) and a control group (n=6). Demographic information of the children was recorded. Pulmonary function test (PFT) was evaluated with a portable spirometer (Spirobank MIR), the quality of life of the children was evaluated with the Paediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire and psychological status was evaluated with the child depression scale. Respiratory training was given to the digital game group with a digital game. The control group was followed with medication. Both groups were evaluated at baseline and after 3 weeks.

Group Intervention Description Digital game group Digital Game Application In addition to routine drug use, children of the digital game group were followed up with 15 sessions of 15 minutes of digital games for respiratory training. Routine medical treatment group Use of medication for asthma The children continued their current asthma treatment in the same way. They did not receive any extra treatment. Digital game group Use of medication for asthma In addition to routine drug use, children of the digital game group were followed up with 15 sessions of 15 minutes of digital games for respiratory training.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) 6 months The respiratory function of the children was evaluated with a portable spirometer (Spirobank MIR, Italy) according to the European Respiratory Society (ERS) and American Thoracic Society (ATS) criteria. The test will be performed in a sitting position, with the patient asked to inhale deeply and then exhale rapidly through the spirometer.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) 6 months It is used to evaluate the quality of life of children aged 7-17 years by measuring the physical, mental, and social impairment specific to asthma. It is a 23-item quality-of-life scale developed to measure the physical, mental, and social disorders of children with asthma. The total score for all items is 23-161. Higher scores suggest a better quality of life.
Childhood Depression Inventory (CDI) 4 months The depression status of the children was evaluated with the Child Depression Scale. In this 27-item scale, 1,2,3 items are specified for each question and the scoring is done on a maximum of 54 points, with 0 for 1, 1 for 2 and 2 for 3. The cut-off score is recommended as 19 and the severity of depression increases as the score increases.
