Evaluasi Respon Nyeri Pasca Penggunaan Matras Pintar Pereduksi Dekubitus: Pra-Eksperimen Pada Dewasa Sehat

Decubitus is a pressure sore on the skin resulting from a relatively long bed rest position. This health problem often occurs in immobilized patients, and is often found in protruding parts of the bone. In order to prevent the emergence of decubitus in patients on bed rest, and prevent the worsening of wounds in patients who already have decubitus, an innovation of smart pressure reducing mattress was created. Before testing it on patients, it is necessary to test the mattress on healthy adult individuals. This study aims to analyze the correlation between the use of a smart mattress and the emergence of pain responses in healthy adult individuals with indicators of pain, burning sensation and sense of pressure. This quantitative study used a cross-sectional design. The population was healthy adults of productive age. The sample was 29 female nursing students (n=29). Instruments included a smart pressure reducing mattress, observation sheet of body height and weight plus BMI, and pain response questionnaire. Data analysis used the Spearman Rank correlation test (α<0.05). The majority reported good evaluation results after using the smart mattress. They expressed strongly agreed with the following statements: they didn't feel any pain (75.86%), burning sensation (75.86%), and sense of pressure on their skin (79.31%). The burning sensation had a strong and significant correlation with the sense of pressure on the skin (p=0.003; ρ=0.528). Using a smart mattress for 40 minutes does not cause a pain response in healthy adult individuals with indicators of not feeling pain, the skin does not feel burning sensation or pressured. There is a strong and significant correlation between burning sensation and the sense of pressure on the skin after 40 minutes lying on the smart mattress.
