Abstract

Pertumbuhan industri perawatan hewan peliharaan yang signifikan, didukung oleh fenomena pet humanization, mendorong peningkatan kebutuhan layanan kesehatan hewan yang lebih terstruktur dan berkualitas. Kucing sebagai salah satu hewan peliharaan utama memiliki karakteristik perilaku yang sensitif terhadap lingkungan dan penanganan medis, sehingga memerlukan pendekatan terapi yang lebih adaptif. Salah satu penyakit yang umum terjadi pada kucing adalah gangguan pernapasan seperti upper respiratory infection (URI), yang membutuhkan terapi inhalasi melalui metode nebulisasi. Namun, dalam praktik klinik, penggunaan nebulizer berbasis masker sering kali memerlukan restrain fisik yang memicu stres pada kucing, sementara penggunaan ruang tertutup secara improvisatif belum mampu mengontrol distribusi aerosol dan kondisi lingkungan terapi secara optimal. Hal ini menyebabkan ketidakkonsistenan dalam pelaksanaan terapi dan berpotensi menurunkan efektivitas penyembuhan.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan desain nebulizer box berbasis ruang semi-tertutup yang mampu mengintegrasikan sistem kontrol airflow, distribusi aerosol, serta ergonomi perilaku kucing dalam satu sistem terapi yang terstruktur. Perancangan diarahkan pada pengembangan perangkat dengan kualitas tinggi (premium) yang menekankan kenyamanan hewan, kestabilan sistem terapi, serta pemilihan material yang higienis dan tahan penggunaan klinis. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan perancangan desain berbasis analisis kebutuhan pengguna, studi eksisting, serta pengembangan konsep yang kemudian diwujudkan dalam bentuk prototipe. Hasil perancangan berupa nebulizer box yang mampu meningkatkan kenyamanan hewan, meminimalkan kebutuhan restrain fisik, serta mendukung kestabilan distribusi aerosol selama proses terapi. Kebaruan dari penelitian ini terletak pada integrasi antara sistem kontrol aliran udara dan pendekatan desain berbasis perilaku hewan dalam satu produk terapi, sehingga diharapkan dapat meningkatkan efektivitas dan konsistensi terapi nebulisasi pada kucing di klinik veteriner.

The rapid growth of the pet care industry, driven by the phenomenon of pet humanization, has led to an increasing demand for more structured and high-quality veterinary healthcare services. Cats, as one of the primary companion animals, exhibit behavioral characteristics that are highly sensitive to environmental changes and medical handling, requiring a more adaptive therapeutic approach. One of the most common health issues in cats is respiratory disease, particularly upper respiratory infection (URI), which often requires inhalation therapy through nebulization. However, in clinical practice, the use of conventional mask-based nebulizers often requires physical restraint, which can induce stress and discomfort in cats. Meanwhile, the use of improvised enclosed spaces lacks proper control of aerosol distribution and environmental conditions, resulting in inconsistent therapy delivery and reduced treatment effectiveness.
This study aims to develop a semi-enclosed nebulizer box design that integrates airflow control, aerosol distribution, and feline behavioral ergonomics into a structured therapeutic system. The design is positioned as a high-quality (premium) device, emphasizing animal comfort, system stability, and the use of hygienic and durable materials suitable for clinical settings. The design process employs a user-centered approach, including needs analysis, existing product studies, and concept development, which is realized in a full-scale (1:1) functional prototype.
The resulting design demonstrates improved animal comfort, reduced need for physical restraint, and more stable aerosol distribution during therapy. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of airflow management and behavior-based design within a single therapeutic device, contributing to more consistent and effective nebulization therapy for cats in veterinary clinics.
