2/19

Objectives of the study

The study aimed to create and develop a

prototype that can control the temperature of theheated sand.


3/19

Objectives of the study

Specifically, this study aims to:Determine the temperature of the sand before

and after it is placed in the prototype for 20

minutes.

Determine if there is a significant difference in

the temperature of the sand before and after it is

placed in the prototype for 20 minutes.

Determine if there is a significant difference in

the temperature consistency between the heated

sand prototype and paraffin wax.


4/19

NULL HYPOTHESES

1. There is no significant difference in the

temperature of the sand before and after it is

placed in the prototype for 20 minutes.

2. There is no significant difference in the

temperature consistency between the heated

sand prototype and paraffin wax.

SCOPE

The study is bounded in creating, developing,

and testing a prototype that can control the

temperature of heated sand.


7/19

Limitations

First, the study did not use live subjects in

the testing of the prototype due to the relativity

and subjectivity of the response.

Lastly, the study used only one type of

sand due to time constraints.

Research Design

This study used a pre-post experimental

method, where the pretest and the post test will

be compared. Moreover, the study utilized the

design-based method in creating and developing

the prototype.

USERS, TASK, AND

CONTEXT

The users of the prototype will be patients that

experiences hand pain especially those who need

paraffin wax treatment. The goal of theprototype is to control the temperature of the

heated sand within 20 minutes with minimum to

zero increase or decrease in temperature.

FUNCTIONAL

REQUIREMENTThe design should hold sand with a volumethat can cover the entire hand, from palm to

the tip of the longest finger, evenly.

There should be an opening or mouth with

wrist rest and can be sealed in order to prevent

air molecules to have contact with the heated

sand.

The box should be made of material/materials

that could insulate the heat of the sand.

There should be emergency vents to cool down

the sand for contingency.


11/19

usability

REQUIREMENTThe design should be user friendly.

The design can be moved from one place to

another easily.

There should be a hole where sand can be

ejected from the box for cleaning purposes.

STATISTICAL

ANALYSIS

The data gathered for this study were subjected

to statistical treatment which includes the mean,standard deviation, and T-test.

RESULTS

The data reveal that there is no significant difference in the

temperature of sand before and after it was placed in the

prototype for 20 minutes as indicated by t = 0.074, p < .05.

The null hypotheses that there is no significant difference in

the temperature of sand before and after it was placed in the

prototype for 20 minutes is accepted.


16/19

RESULTS

The data reveal that there is no significant difference in the

temperature of sand before and after it was placed in the

prototype for 20 minutes as indicated by t = 0.423, p < .05.

The null hypotheses that there is no significant difference in

the temperature of sand before and after it was placed in the

prototype for 20 minutes is accepted.


17/19

RESULTS

The data reveal that is there is no significant difference in the

consistency between Paraffin Wax Treatment and Heated Sand

Prototype as indicated by t = 0.048, p < .05. The null

hypothesis that there is no significant difference in the

temperature consistency between Paraffin Wax Treatment and

Heated Sand Prototype is accepted.


18/19

Conclusions

Results show that there is no significant difference in the

temperature of the sand before and after it is placed in the

prototype for 20 minutes.

Results show that there is no significant difference in the

temperature consistency between the heated sand prototype

and paraffin wax. The heated sand prototype was proven to bean effective alternative to Paraffin Wax Treatment.

Recommendations

It is highly recommended to use the heated sand prototype onrelieving hand pain.

It is suggested for those individual who doesnt have enough

money to avail expensive paraffin wax treatment especially

those in rural communities where sand is abundant.

It is highly recommended by the researchers to improve thedesign of the prototype and to conduct application study to

revalidate the results.
