  • Nursing management of Wound Care pain
    The journal of nursing (China), 2007
    Co-Authors: Yen-fan Chin
    Abstract:

    : Wound Care is an important step in promoting Wound healing, but it may cause Wound Care pain. This article aims to explore factors influencing Wound Care pain and the effectiveness of various interventions to alleviate it. Five major factors that influence Wound Care pain include inappropriate dressing change techniques, inflammation response, emotion, cognition, and social-cultural factors. Nurses should apply appropriate dressings and dressing change techniques to relieve Wound Care pain. Music therapy and aromatherapy can alleviate Wound pain after dressing change. But distraction techniques should be used in conjunction with consideration of the needs of the individual subject.

  • Dressing and Wound Care pain
    The journal of nursing (China), 2006
    Co-Authors: Yen-fan Chin
    Abstract:

    Abstract Wound Care is an important step for promoting Wound healing. Nevertheless it is also a major source of pain for patients with Wounds. The results of a survey showed that not only burn patients but also non-burn ones suffered from Wound Care pain which occurred in inpatients and outpatients. One of the significant factors causing Wound Care pain was that the dressing adhered to the Wound bed. Although some agencies claimed that particular dressings with low adhesion can result in painless removal, the actual effects needed to be verified. Results of clinical trials revealed that for relieving Wound Care pain of certain kinds of Wound, it was recommended to use particular dressings, such as banana leaf dressing, boiled potato peel bandage, Acticoat, Mepital or Mefix.

  • Quality Wound Care equals cost-effective Wound Care: a clinical model.
    Advances in wound care : the journal for prevention and healing, 1997
    Co-Authors: Laura Bolton, Van Rijswijk L, Shaffer Fa
    Abstract:

    : The cost of Wound Care frequently is defined as the cost of materials and labor, ignoring the effect of both variables on outcome. As a result, money-saving measures actually may increase cost while reducing the quality of Care. Definitions and tools to enable professionals to understand, evaluate, and compare the cost-effectiveness of Wound Care practices and treatment modalities are given.

  • A New Smart Mobile System for Chronic Wound Care Management
    IEEE Access, 2018
    Co-Authors: Shihui Wang, Qijian Zhang, Weihong Huang, Hanzhang Tian, Jianzhong Hu, Yongqiang Cheng, Yonghong Peng
    Abstract:

    Nonhealing Wounds pose a major challenge in clinical medicine. Typical chronic Wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers, have brought substantial difficulties to millions of patients around the world. The management of chronic Wound Care remains challenging in terms of precise Wound size measurement, comprehensive Wound assessment, timely Wound healing monitoring, and efficient Wound case management. Despite the rapid progress of digital health technologies in recent years, practical smart Wound Care management systems are yet to be developed. One of the main difficulties is in-depth communication and interaction with nurses and doctors throughout the complex Wound Care process. This paper presents a systematic approach for the user-centered design and development of a new smart mobile system for the management of chronic Wound Care that manages the nurse's task flow and meets the requirements for the Care of different types of Wounds in both clinic and hospital wards. The system evaluation and satisfaction review was carried out with a group of ten nurses from various clinical departments after using the system for over one month. The survey results demonstrated high effectiveness and usability of the smart mobile system for chronic Wound Care management, in contrast to the traditional pen-and-paper approach, in busy clinical contexts.

  • The role of the Wound Care nurse: an integrative review.
    British journal of community nursing, 2020
    Co-Authors: Matthew Dutton, Mary Chiarella, Kate Curtis
    Abstract:

    The role of the Wound Care nurse has developed to meet the need for expert Wound Care advice. Internationally, the role has developed with a variety of different titles. Although all positions have some common tasks and obligations, there remain gaps in knowledge around the role of the Wound Care nurse. This article aims to determine the state of knowledge in relation to the context of practice, scope of practice and impact of the Wound Care nurse. An integrative review design was used to allow a broad search strategy and to gather papers from a variety of sources. A multi-method search strategy of the literature published between 1980-2011 was undertaken. This included 5 electronic databases, a thesis search and manual search. It was found that the characteristics of the patients Wound Care nurses Care for reflect an ageing population and disease processes, including diabetes and obesity. Internationally, there is little consensus on the level of competence, educational requirements and qualifications required to practise as a Wound Care nurse. There was some evidence that the Wound Care nurse improved healing times and decreased pressure injury prevalence.
