Knowledge and Needs of Nursing in Relation to the Treatment Complex Wounds

INTRODUCTION A complex wound is a skin injury with little or no tendency to heal as long as the cause that produces it is present. Complex wounds that are difficult to heal or develop torpid or refractory to the usual treatments, do not evolve adequately in the expected time (\> 6 weeks). The clinical practice we find is completely heterogeneous among professionals who care for people with injuries. OBJECTS Describe the knowledge and training needs perceived by nurses in the approach to people with complex wounds of the CCSPT. To explore the difficulties and facilitating elements that professionals perceive when dealing with people with complex wounds, from the reference area of the Parc Taulí University Hospital, over a period of 12 months. Explain tools with scientific evidence for correct continuity of care. METHODOLOGY: Study with cross-sectional and descriptive mixed methodology. With questionnaires with likert-type questions and open questions in relation to knowledge in wound care; include all CCSPT nurses who voluntarily want to participate in a pseudo-anonymized survey. EXPECTED RESULTS: Current situation of the knowledge, needs, limiting and facilitating elements that nursing professionals have to address people with injuries.
