Development of a notification delivery specimen system for perioperative Thai nurses via the LINE application

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to develop and examine satisfaction in using a notification delivery specimen system for perioperative Thai nurses through the LINE application. METHODS: Design and development research was used in the study and 100 perioperative nurses were recruited from the three operating theatres in hospital settings in Thailand. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics. RESULTS: The overall satisfaction in using a notification delivery specimen system for perioperative Thai nurses through the LINE application was at the high level (M = 4.09, SD = 0.75). The perioperative nurses reported ease of use and safety scored high (M = 4.24, SD = 0.62), followed by sharpness of figures and the coloured light alert (M = 4.15, SD = 0.92), sending messages via LINE notification, and delivering the specimen quickly within the time period (M = 4.10, SD = 0.69). CONCLUSION: The notification delivery specimen system, designed specifically for perioperative Thai nurses and integrated with the LINE application, yielded exceptionally high levels of satisfaction among users. These promising results suggest the potential for widespread adoption in various hospital settings in the coming years.
