Summary

This study looks at whether watching cartoons or listening to breath-synchronized interactive stories can help children aged 6-9 feel less afraid and more comfortable while using a nebulizer for breathing medication. About 96 children with respiratory conditions will be randomly assigned to one of these distraction methods or standard care. The goal is to see if these simple, non-drug approaches reduce fear and improve emotional well-being during treatment.
