Inhalation therapy with a nebulizer is a non-invasive and easy-to-use technology. However, the use of masks and the loud, unpleasant sound of the nebulizer can cause fear and anxiety in children. For nebulizer inhalation therapy to be effective, it is important to reduce children's fear and anxiety and to increase their compliance with treatment. Simple and inexpensive distraction methods can be used to achieve this. The results show that cartoon and storytelling methods reduce fear and anxiety in children undergoing inhalation therapy with the nebulizer.
