    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Patient Safety

    Background:

    • Nasal irrigation is a common procedure for managing sinonasal conditions.
    • Patients often experience anxiety regarding the safety and efficacy of nasal irrigation.
    • Effective patient education is crucial for adherence and positive outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and present a novel teaching model for nasal irrigation.
    • To visually demonstrate the safe passage of water through the nasal cavity.
    • To reassure patients about the harmless nature of nasal irrigation.

    Main Methods:

    • A teaching model was constructed using dental self-curing resins and silicones.
    • The model incorporates mechanisms for simulating nasal irrigation.

  • Two irrigation methods were integrated: an electric dental cleanser with a nasal adapter and a bulb syringe.

    • Main Results:

    • The model effectively illustrates water entering and exiting the nostrils.
    • It visually confirms that the irrigation process does not cause harm.
    • The model serves as a tangible aid for patient instruction.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed teaching model provides a clear and reassuring method for educating patients on nasal irrigation.
    • This tool can help reduce patient apprehension and improve understanding of the procedure.
    • The model's construction with readily available materials makes it a practical educational resource.
