Brief Summary

The goal of this is a randomized controlled intervention study. The study was carried out to determine the effect of nebulization treatment applied to 3-6-year-old children with a soundproof, music player and figured mask nebulizer on the child's anxiety during the procedure. The study was completed with 120 children who were admitted to the emergency room and would receive inhalation therapy. There are 3 groups in the study. These were intervention group 1 using sound-insulated music and nebulizer with figured mask, intervention group 2 using silent nebulizer, and control group using nebulizer used in routine.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale	pre-processing	was developed by Donna Wong and Connie Morain Baker (1981) to be used to assess children's pain levels. It was revised in 1983 for assessing pain in children over the age of three (Wong-Baker Faces Foundation-http://wongbakerfaces.org/). In this scale, the pain score is determined according to the numerical values given to the various faces (Wong \& Baker, 1988; Wong-Baker Faces Foundation-http://wongbakerfaces.org/). In our study, the researcher filled in the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale before the procedure in order to identify the children who were experiencing pain so that they could be excluded from the study. Only children with a pain score of "0" were taken into the study.
The Child Fear Scale (CFS)	order of operation	was adapted by McMurty et al. (2011) from the Faces Anxiety Scale to measure anxiety in children undergoing painful medical procedures. The Child Fear Scale displays five faces with a range of expressions, from a neutral expression (0 = no anxiety) to a fearful face (4 = serious anxiety) (McMurtry et al., 2011). Permission is not required for the clinical and research usage of CFS. This scale was used in the study to determine the anxiety level of children before and during the procedure
The Children's Emotional Indicators Scale (CIAS)	order of operation	This scale is an easy-to-evaluate and easy-to-apply scale used to objectively define the emotional indicators of children during medical procedures.
