การพัฒนานวัตกรรมหุ่นฝึกทักษะการนวดแบบมณีเวชในทารกเกิดก่อนกำหนด
Abstract
This study involved the research and development of a Manivej massage skill training mannequin and aimed to: 1) investigate the need for such a mannequin, 2) develop the mannequin, and 3) evaluate its effectiveness in preterm infants. The sample groups and research tools were divided by research phases. Phase 1: The need for the mannequin was explored using a questionnaire among 10 mothers of preterm infants with swallowing difficulties. Phase 2: The Manivej massage training mannequin was developed. Phase 3: The effectiveness of the mannequin was studied in 34 mothers of preterm infants with swallowing difficulties using a structured questionnaire. The study was conducted from May to July 2023. Qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis, while quantitative data were analyzed using t-tests.
Findings revealed that: 1) Mothers expressed a need for a massage training mannequin that was realistic in size, visually appealing, easy to transport, durable, and user-friendly. 2) The developed mannequin, made from natural and synthetic rubber, resembled an infant and included an electrical feedback system that responded to pressure at specific points. And 3) After training, mothers showed statistically significant improvements (p < .01) in the quality of usage, satisfaction, and self-confidence compared to before training.
In conclusion, the Manivej massage training mannequin proved to be an effective educational tool that enhances learning and builds confidence among mothers, potentially promoting nutrient absorption, muscle strength, and blood circulation in preterm infants.
