Evaluation of animated cartoon-aided teaching of intranasal corticosteroid administration technique among Thai children with allergic rhinitis.

Background: Correct use of intranasal corticosteroid (INCS) and compliance with treatment is very important for the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR). An animated cartoon-aided teaching method for INCS administration was created to decrease the workload of health care professionals. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of children with AR in using INCS between a group who were instructed using animated cartoon-aided teaching and those receiving only an oral presentation without demonstration.
