Abstract
Intravenous fluid therapy may cause discomfort to patients most of the time. More research and innovation are needed to develop infusion devices to provide a more comfortable feeling for patients receiving the therapy. This preliminary study analyzed the effect of economical and smart (ecosmart) infusion systems on comfort in healthy adults. The one-group post-test-only design was used in this pre-experimental investigation. A range of ages, gender, body weight, body temperature, and normal blood pressure selected participants. An independently created, valid, and reliable tool was used to measure comfort. Data analysis employed a t-test on a single sample. Fifteen nursing students are participating as sampling objects. The average comfort score for the study's participants was 11.2 (SD = 2.5967; p < 0.05). The result indicates that the participants are at ease using the ecosmart system. The respondents' sense of comfort related to the instrument showed comfort or relaxation.
