Abstract
Purpose: To develop and assess the feasibility of an innovative Thai herbal cold compression abdominal binder for relieving pain in post-abdominal surgery patients.
Design: This research involved developing a prototype innovation as part of a broader study investigating the effects of the Thai herbal cold compression abdominal binder on pain in postoperative abdominal surgery patients.
Methods: The innovation development process consisted of three phases: 1) Studying the issues faced by postoperative patients, combined with a literature review; 2) Designing and producing the innovation based on the Gate Control Theory and insights from the literature review; 3) Testing the feasibility of the innovation with postoperative patients. The innovation was evaluated for suitability by five experts. The sample included five patients who had undergone abdominal surgery, selected through purposive sampling. Instruments used included the innovation prototype, a satisfaction questionnaire, and a pain assessment form. Data were analyzed using percentages, means, and standard deviations.
Results: The innovation received an average usability score of 4.6 (± 0.54), a practicality score of 4.80 (± 0.44), a safety score of 5.00 (± 0.00), and a satisfaction score of 4.80 (± 0.44). A comparison of pain scores before and after using the innovation showed effective pain reduction, with the average pain score decreasing from 8.2 before using the innovation to 5.0 afterward. The innovation is deemed suitable for further study in a larger sample of postoperative abdominal surgery patients.
