Abstract
The present pilot study is as a part of Ph.D. Programme under THE TAMILNADU Dr. M.G.R Medical University. The study was designed to assess the effectiveness of Novel Designed Nebulizer (NDN) Compliance among Preschoolers undergoing nebulization in selected Hospital, Salem. Quasi experimental research design was adopted. 20 children (10 experimental, 10 control group) who were admitted in pediatric wards with respiratory conditions and receiving nebulization between the age group of 3 to 6 years were selected by purposive sampling. Nebulization was given to experimental group with Novel Designed Nebulizer (NDN) and control group with routine nebulization. The results showed that the post test scores reveal that
experimental group all 10(10%) the preschoolers were having high level of compliance and in control group all 10(10%) the preschoolers were having Medium level of compliance to nebulization procedure.The Friedman test value is 9.235 which is greater than the table value which indicates that the Novel designed nebulization is effective in increasing the compliance in experimental group. Overall mean and SD in Experimental group is 2.31±0.23and the overall mean and SD in control group is 4.19 ±0.46. The mean difference is 1.88. The Z value is 3.800 which is higher than the table value which shows that the Novel
designed nebulization is effective in improving the compliance among Preschoolers in experimental group.
