Convenience and suitability of multimedia fracture care

Abstrak

Background: Pain and anxiety are major issues for fracture patients, both in the preoperative and postoperative periods. Long nurse contact time is the cause of nurses' concern in overcoming these problems. Although nurses' ability to provide services to fracture patients is undeniable, nurses must be aware of the need for screening and management of pain and psychology. The study aims to ascertain nurses' assessment of the comfort and suitability of multimedia fracture care.

Method: This study uses a research and development (R & D) design through a modification of the Borg & Gall development with 3 stages of testing, namely expert testing, limited trials, and field trials, using incidental sampling techniques with 206 respondents consisting of 3 multimedia experts and 203 nurses who work in handling fractures. The instrument in this study  is the result of the development of the Learning Object Review Instrument (LORI) version. Field trials, limited trials, and expert testing all produced flawless results when evaluating the suitability and comfort of multimedia fracture care.

Results: This multimedia application received excellent marks from experts, limited samples and field test samples

Conclusion: The application received an excellent rating from the majority of the respondents, and it can be used as a learning tool for nurses who are providing services to clients who have fractures with accompanying therapy, such as psychoeducation and classical music.
