Abstract

Learning skill training for fingertip blood collection; in case study of the Rubber Army Nurse Model. The purpose of the rubber army nurse model for fingertip blood collection skill training is to optimize nursing instruction. First, this model will allow nursing students to learn about the locations for fingertip blood collection, and enable them to identify these locations on their own as it provides a clear picture of its functioning mechanisms. In addition, through this model, nurse students will acquire skills which require expertise derived from iterative practices. Second, this model will prepare nursing students for an internship at the ward. Third, this model will ensure safety to patients and reduced issues for patients. This is Thailand’s first fingertip blood collection model. It has a low cost because it is made with natural para rubber, as a substitution for synthetic materials. Furthermore, the model development is in line with three major policies of the Thai government – the student centered educational reform policy, the policy towards Thai para rubber value addition, and the para rubber export policy, which can reduce resin and fiberglass imports.
