dc.description.abstractPurpose: This study aimed to examine the effect of mobile game training designed for children with asthma on inhaler use skills, asthma symptoms and treatment needs, and quality of life. Design and methods: This randomized controlled study was conducted between April and October 2023 at Pediatric Asthma and Allergy Clinic in Turkey. The sample of the study consists of a total of 74 children diagnosed with asthma, including the Mobile game (n: 37) and the Control group (n: 37). In the study, a mobile game was developed for children with asthma between the ages of 8 -12. In collecting research data; Child and Parent Information Form, Inhaler Use Skill Evaluation Form, Asthma Symptom and Treatment Need Scoring (Asthma Symptom Score [ASS], Rhinitis Symptom Score [RSS] and Total Symptom Score [TSS]), DISABKIDS Asthma Scale were used Results: There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of the demographic status of the children ( p > 0.05). It was determined that the average inhaler use skill score and DISABKIDS asthma scale Child/Parent score average of the children in the mobile game group were higher than the control group ( p < 0.05). When the children's final follow-up ASS, RSS and TSS total scores were examined; It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the children in the mobile game and control groups (p < 0.05). Conclusions: As a result of this study, it was determined that mobile game training designed for children is an effective method in increasing children's ability to use inhaler medications, reducing asthma symptoms and treatment needs, and improving quality of life. Practice implication: Nurses can improve children's quality of life by using mobile game training programs that attract children's attention. (c) 2024 Published by Elsevier Inc.
