Effect of Nurse-Directed Therapeutic Positioning in Children With Pneumonia
Effectiveness of Nurse- Directed Therapeutic Positioning on Vital Signs, Oxygen Saturation, and Respiratory Distress Severity Among Children With Pneumonia: A Comparative Study
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.

|---|---|
|
Experimental: Side - Lying position Group
Children aged 3-5 years diagnosed with pneumonia will receive nurse-directed therapeutic positioning in the side-lying position. Vital signs, oxygen saturation, and respiratory distress severity will be assessed according to the study protocol. |
Nurse-directed therapeutic positioning will be implemented for children aged 3-5 years diagnosed with pneumonia. Children assigned to this group will be placed in the side-lying position under nursing supervision, with attention to comfort, safety, and clinical tolerance. The selected side, duration of each positioning session, frequency of application, and total intervention period will be specified in the study protocol. Vital signs, oxygen saturation, and respiratory distress severity will be assessed according to the study's measurement schedule to evaluate changes following the intervention. |
|
Experimental: Semi - Fowler's Position Group
Children aged 3-5 years diagnosed with pneumonia will receive nurse-directed therapeutic positioning in the semi-Fowler's position. Vital signs, oxygen saturation, and respiratory distress severity will be assessed according to the study protocol. |
Nurse-directed therapeutic positioning will be implemented for children aged 3-5 years diagnosed with pneumonia. Children assigned to this group will be positioned in the semi-Fowler's position, with the head and upper body elevated according to the study protocol. Nursing supervision will be provided to maintain the child's comfort and safety and to monitor clinical tolerance. The elevation angle, duration of each positioning session, frequency of application, and total intervention period will be specified in the study protocol. Vital signs, oxygen saturation, and respiratory distress severity will be assessed according to the study's measurement schedule to evaluate changes following the intervention. |
|
Sem intervenção: Control Group
Children aged 3-5 years diagnosed with pneumonia will receive routine nursing care according to the hospital's standard practice. Vital signs, oxygen saturation, and respiratory distress severity will be assessed according to the study protocol. |

Medida de resultado |
Descrição da medida |
Prazo |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in Respiratory Rate
Prazo: At baseline (before the application of the assigned therapeutic positioning method); and immediately after completion of the intervention.
|
Respiratory rate will be measured in breaths per minute and compared among the semi-Fowler, side-lying, and control groups. |
At baseline (before the application of the assigned therapeutic positioning method); and immediately after completion of the intervention.
|
|
Change in Respiratory Distress Severity
Prazo: At baseline (before the application of the assigned therapeutic positioning method); and immediately after completion of the intervention.
|
Respiratory distress severity will be assessed using the Clinical Respiratory Score (CRS), which consists of six parameters: respiratory rate, auscultation, use of accessory muscles, mental status, room air oxygen saturation, and skin color. Each parameter is scored from 0 to 2, yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 12. Higher scores indicate greater respiratory distress. Change in respiratory distress severity will be compared among the semi-Fowler, side-lying, and control groups. |
At baseline (before the application of the assigned therapeutic positioning method); and immediately after completion of the intervention.
|
|
Change in Peripheral Oxygen Saturation (SpO₂)
Prazo: At baseline (before the application of the assigned therapeutic positioning method); and immediately after completion of the intervention.
|
Peripheral oxygen saturation will be measured using a pulse oximeter and compared among the semi-Fowler, side-lying, and control groups. |
At baseline (before the application of the assigned therapeutic positioning method); and immediately after completion of the intervention.
|
|
Change in Heart Rate
Prazo: At baseline (before the application of the assigned therapeutic positioning method); and immediately after completion of the intervention.
|
Heart rate will be measured in beats per minute and compared among the semi-Fowler, side-lying, and control groups. |
At baseline (before the application of the assigned therapeutic positioning method); and immediately after completion of the intervention.
