Abstract

Background: Developing an innovative model from natural rubber for practicing suture skills for use in nursing education plays a vital role in helping learners acquire the skills to effectively apply sutures in the emergency room.


Objectives: To develop innovations in mockups for the practice of suturing skills from natural rubber and evaluate the quality of newly developed model innovations.


Methods: This innovation research and development involves two steps: 1) the design and development of a model for practicing suture skills, and 2) the evaluation of the users’ satisfaction after using the model. The sample group consisted of nursing instructors teaching primary medical care in the central division education across Thailand and nursing students from the Faculty of Nursing,  Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi. The tools in this study included an
in-depth interview, a quality assessment form for simulated wounds from natural rubber, an innovative quality assessment form for practicing suture skills from natural rubber and a satisfaction assessment form for simulated wounds from natural rubber. Qualitative data were analyzed using a content analysis method and quantitative data using descriptive statistics.


Results: Innovative modelling for practicing suture skills from natural rubber was obtained with puncture wound pieces attached to the mannequins in different parts of the mannequin body. The trial and quality assessment results showed that the average quality score was at the highest level (M=4.43,SD=0.61).


Conclusions: Nursing instructors and nursing students were satisfied with the innovation of a model to practice suture skills from natural rubber for each type of suture. The appearance of the skin wound and wound color of the innovative simulation model that looks like a natural injured person allows students to practice suturing the wound as done with a wound in a real person.
