About 111 patients. They were divided into 2 groups, which the first group used the original model for 24 patients receiving high flow oxygen. The second group used the developed nursing model for 87 cases. Research instruments and data collection tools consisted of 1) qualitative tools such as participant observation form, focus group guideline questions, and informal interview questionnaires. 2) The quantitative instrument such as a data collection form for pediatric pneumonia patients receiving high flow oxygen therapy, Data form of Registered Nurses, Guide line Compliance Record Form, Nursing outcome record form, and satisfaction of registered nurses.

The number of days using high flow oxygen decreased from an average of 3.29 (SD±1.19) to 2.63 (SD±1.12) days. The average number of sleep days decreased from 4.63 (SD±1.43) to 4.32 (SD±1.63) days with statistical significance. The overall satisfaction scores were at the highest level.
