Research and Innovation in Nursing: An Infant Heel Venipuncture-Training Manikin
Keywords:
Innovation, Skill Training, Heel Venipuncture PracticeAbstract
The purpose of this research and innovation development was to create and develop an infant heel blood venipuncture-training manikin and to study its effectiveness. The research was conducted at the Songkhla Boromarajonani College of Nursing, during the academic year 2023. It was divide in two phases. Phase 1 consisted in the creation and development of the new infant heel blood venipuncture-training manikin, including situation analysis, theoretical, literature and research reviews, and the consultation of experts. The infant heel blood venipuncture-training manikin was created, and then tested for further developments. Phase 2 consisted in the assessment of the innovation in terms of effectiveness. There were 27 third-year nursing students in the experimental group, and 27 in the control group (total = 54). The research tools included the infant heel blood venipuncture-training manikin, as well as an effectiveness evaluation questionnaire with an IOC ranging from 0.67 to 1.00, and a reliability coefficient (Cronbach's alpha) of 0.77. Data were analyzed using content analysis, mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage. The research results showed as follows.
1. The infant heel blood venipuncture-training manikin was made from latex and coated with a mix of latex and acrylic paint to prevent leakage at the puncture site, where red-colored fluid was filled. A rubber ball was used to store fluid in the manikin's heel area. The fluid was a mix of water and red acrylic paint, to simulate the flow of blood during a heel puncture.
2. Overall effectiveness of the infant heel blood venipuncture-training manikin was rated at the highest level (M = 4.72, SD = 0.35). When considering specific aspects, the design structure, self-confidence, and satisfaction were also rated at the highest level (M = 4.63, SD = 0.39; M = 4.65, SD = 0.43; and M = 4.87, SD = 0.24, respectively).
Therefore, the infant heel blood venipuncture-training manikin can be used in both theoretical and practical teaching of pediatric and adolescent nursing. The model is anatomically and physiologically accurate, appropriately sized, and lightweight for easy transportation. It is suitable for demonstrations to help students understand and practice easily, making it convenient for simulation exercises with a realistic appearance.
