Abstract

The purpose of this quasi-experimental research was to compare the distraction by animation and by digital games on children’s fear of children receiving aerosol therapy in an emergency room. Sixty preschool children with acute respiratory infection or asthma treated by aerosol therapy in the emergency room of the Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health were randomly assigned to the control group, the distraction by animation group, and the distraction by digital games group. Children’s fear was collected by the Aerosol Therapy Fear Behavior Scale of Chirawachr Kasemsook and Waraporn Chaiyawat (2555). Its Content Validity Index was .95 and its interrater reliability coefficient was .95. Data were analyzed by ANOVA. Findings were as follows. (1) Preschool children receiving distraction by animation had significant less fear of aerosol therapy than those receiving routine nursing care, at the statistical level of .05. (2) Preschool children receiving distraction by digital games had significant less fear of aerosol therapy than those receiving routine nursing care, at the statistical level of .05. (3) Fear of aerosol therapy of preschool children receiving distraction by animation and by digital games were not different.
