The purpose of this research and development study was to study the problematic condition and the need for the development of a cold compress gel from wild olive resin to reduce pain. and to evaluate the effectiveness of cold compress gels. and assessing the satisfaction of users of the cold compress gel innovation. Three phases of the operation were: 1) a study of the problem, the informants were 10 registered nurses in the ward and nursing instructors. The instrument was used in a semi-structure interview. Data collected by group conversation. Data were analyzed by using content analysis. 2) The development of an innovative cold compress gel from wild olive sap by the researcher and quality checked by the experts. 3) The effectiveness of the cold compress gel from wild olive sap was evaluated and satisfaction from the samples consisting of 15 registered nurses. The instruments consisted of innovative cold compress gel from wild olive resin, pain assessment scale, satisfaction evaluation form for using innovation. Data were analyzed by using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and Wilcoxon sign rank test.
The study found that 1) The commercial cold compress gel is expensive, and the quantity is insufficient for use. Some cold compress gels are effective in transferring low temperatures, have a pain-relieving effect. And often crystallization of water when refrigerated until solidified and deterioration during storage as well as sizes for limited applications There was no suitable size for each patient. 2) The innovative cold compress gel from wild olive sap was developed in various sizes suitable for use. 3) Comparison before and after using the cold compress gel from wild olive sap to reduce pain statistically significant (p<.05) and the samples had overall satisfaction at a high level (Mean=4.54, SD.= .31)
The results of this research show that health workers can use innovative cold compress gel from wild olive resin as an alternative to manage pain in patients with musculoskeletal disorders.
