Abstract
Background: Research and development of innovations for armrest cover belts and the care of intravenous catheters in patients undergoing anesthesia.
Objectives: To develop and evaluate the effectiveness of innovations for armrest cover belts and intravenous catheter care in patients undergoing anesthesia.
Methods: A design thinking concept was used to develop and evaluate the innovation. The sample consisted of 27 patients undergoing surgery with anesthesia at Thabo Hospital from March to May 2022. The research instruments included the armrest cover belts and the intravenous catheter care innovation, an innovation evaluation form, and an innovation quality assessment form. These instruments were validated by experts and achieved an IOC range of 0.67–1.00 and a Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient of 0.91. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a one-sample t-test.
Results: The armrest cover belts and intravenous catheter care innovation among patients undergoing anesthesia are made of a surgical instrument fabric that is lightweight, waterproof, and easy to clean. It can be attached to any type of operating table armrest as it has an adjustable crab fastener. No slippage of the intravenous catheter was observed after using the innovation. Satisfaction scores and feedback on the overall quality and individual aspects of the innovation were significantly higher than the good level, with statistical significance at the .001 level.
Conclusions: The innovation of armrest cover belts and intravenous catheter care can prevent bruising around the restrained arm, shoulder and wrist dislocations, arm weakness, and no slippage of the intravenous catheter line in patients undergoing anesthesia.
