Plain English summary of protocol
Background and aims
Due to their underdeveloped immune systems and the often atypical early symptoms of pneumonia, the disease can rapidly progress to severe pneumonia, which can then significantly impair their respiratory function, leading to rapid deterioration of blood gas parameters and lung function. This study investigates the effects of comprehensive nursing based on the "3H" theory on blood gas parameters, recovery speed, and lung function in children with severe pneumonia.
Who can participate?
Children diagnosed with severe pneumonia who were treated at our hospital participated in this trial.
What does the study involve?
This study involves the clinical nursing effect of a comprehensive nursing programme on children with severe pneumonia.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The potential benefit of participating in this experiment is that children with severe pneumonia may recover their physical health faster, the risk is that without long-term follow-up, they may experience recurrence and serious complications.

| Study acronym | 3H |
| Study objectives | Comprehensive nursing based on the "3H" hotel-style (Hotel) etiquette services, hospital (Hospital) personalized care services, and home-style (Home) warm services theory can significantly improve the recovery speed of children with severe pneumonia, improve blood gas indicators and lung function, and increase family satisfaction compared to conventional nursing. |

| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Comprehensive nursing of children with severe pneumonia |
| Intervention | Brief methodology: The study group received comprehensive nursing based on the "3H" theory + routine care, the control group received only routine care. Treatment: After treatment, the study group demonstrated significantly shorter times for cough cessation, fever resolution, improvement in dyspnea, disappearance of pulmonary rales, and overall length of hospital stay compared to the control group. Before treatment, no significant differences were observed in the PaO2, SaO2, and PaCO2 levels between the two groups. However, after treatment, the study group exhibited significantly higher PaO2 and SaO2 levels and lower PaCO2 levels compared to the control group. Before treatment, our data showed that there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of FEV1, FVC, MVV, and PEF. However, after treatment, the study group showed significantly higher levels of FEV1, FVC, MVV, and PEF compared to the control group. Family satisfaction after treatment was significantly higher in the study group compared to the control group. After the intervention, the study group had higher compliance compared to the control group, and the difference was statistically significant Total duration of treatment: one month. Follow-up: All patients in the study group were cured and returned to a healthy state. While two patients in the control group still had some sequelae, such as drowsiness and a small amount of cough. After one week of further recovery, their condition has improved. Randomisation process: All enrolled children were assigned a number, and a random number generator was used to generate a sequence of random numbers corresponding to the number of children. Odd numbers were assigned to the study group, while even numbers were assigned to the control group. |
| Intervention type | Behavioural |
| Primary outcome measure(s) |
1. Observe the clinical indicators of cough cessation time, fever reduction time, shortness of breath improvement time, lung rales disappearance time, and hospitalization time using clinical observation data from patient medical notes two weeks after nursing |
| Key secondary outcome measure(s) |
Satisfaction of the child’s family with the nursing care measured using a self-designed anonymous satisfaction questionnaire two weeks after nursing |
