Main Article Content
Abstract
Pain management in colorectal cancer patients receiving oxaliplatin is challenging
because oxaliplatin often causes severe pain. Effective pain management can
help reduce suffering and enhance patients’ quality of life. which emphasizes
patient participation in self-care. It focuses on three key elements: the symptom
experience, symptom management strategies, and outcomes.
One of the innovations developed by Mahavajiravudh ward 6A at Vajira Hospital to
relieve pain is the “Warm Happiness Blanket”. This blanket employs a
temperaturecontrol system (26–37°C) applied to the area where patients
receive oxaliplatin, which helps improve blood circulation, reduce lactic acid
buildup and relax muscles. As a result, it effectively relieves pain without causing
skin burns.
This article presents the application of Dodd’s symptom management concept
using the “Warm Happiness Blanket” innovation in a single-case study. The
findings show that it can effectively relieve pain without complications and that
the patient was satisfied. Therefore, this innovation can be beneficial for further
application in caring for colorectal cancer patients receiving oxaliplatin who
experience pain, as well as in other similar contexts.
