Abstract:

Objective: To explore the application effect of health management based on the concept of childlike fun in children with respiratory tract infections. Methods: A retrospective data collection was conducted on 43 children with respiratory tract infections who underwent routine health management at Putian University Affiliated Hospital from January 2022 to December 2022 as the control group, while another 43 children with respiratory tract infections taking routine management at the Hospital from January 2023 to December 2023 and also received child centered health management were enrolled as the observation group. We then compared their main symptoms’ disappearance time, cooperation level, and quality of life between the two groups of children before and after intervention. Results: After intervention, the average disappearance time of fever ((2.13±0.54) d), cough ((5.11±1.06) d), wheezing ((4.08±0.87) d), and lung rales ((5.09±0.93) d) in the observation group were all significantly shorter than those in the control group ((2.67±0.62) d, (5.94±1.13) d, (4.79±0.93) d, (5.94±0.89) d; t=4.307, 3.513, 3.656, 4.330, all P<0.001). After intervention, the excellent cooperation rate of the observation group (95.35%, 41/43) was significantly higher than that of the control group (79.07%, 34/43; χ2=5.108, P=0.024). After intervention, the observation group’s average living environment score (73.36±6.34), satisfaction score (76.52±6.55), social and psychological function score (75.94±6.06), and physiological and psychological health dimension score (80.58±7.13) assessed by the Quality of Life Scale for Children and Adolescents (QLSCA) were all significantly higher than those in the control group ((70.18±5.97), (72.43±6.31), (71.04±6.32), (75.74±6.09); t=2.395, P=0.019; t=2.949, P=0.004; t=3.670, P<0.001; t=3.385, P=0.001). Conclusion: Applying health management based on the concept of childlike fun in children with respiratory infections can promote their symptom disappearance, improve cooperation, and enhance their quality of life.
