Effect of Nurse-Directed Therapeutic Positioning in Children With Pneumonia
Conditions: Pediatric Pneumonia
Sex: All
Ages: 3 Years – 5 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 150
Sponsor: University of Baghdad
Summary
Pneumonia is a common respiratory infection in children that may cause respiratory distress and impaired oxygenation. This quasi-experimental study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of nurse-directed therapeutic positioning on vital signs, oxygen saturation, and respiratory distress severity among children aged 3-5 years diagnosed with pneumonia. The study will compare two therapeutic positioning interventions, side-lying position and semi-Fowler's position, with a control group receiving routine nursing care. The outcomes will be assessed to determine the effects of these positioning interventions on the respiratory status of children with pneumonia.
