Effects of back pain relief innovations on lower back pain in working people group

Abstract

This quasi-experimental research aimed to develop innovative fabrics to reduce back pain among working people. The sample was 15 working-age groups aged 20-60 years. The research instruments were support for back pain relief in combination with herbs, pain level assessment form for back pain, and a satisfaction assessment form for using the back pain relief. The data was analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation and paired t-test. The results found that the mean score of pain level before using the innovation was 3.00 after immediate innovation the mean score was 1.80. After 15, 30, 45, 60 minutes of the innovation, the mean score was 1.43 and the mean score for back pain recurrence after using the innovation was 7.80 hours. The average score of satisfaction with the use of innovative support bands to reduce back pain was equal to 4.72 which is the highest level The limitation of the innovation is that the herb retains heat for about 30 minutes; therefore, the heat retaining material should be added so that the innovation can be used for more than 1 hour, together with the modification of the material or pattern to make it more beautiful and able to be worn while doing daily activities.
