Abstract:
This report describes the development of a wound management manual for district nurses. A working party of district nurses interested in wound management was established to evaluate research on wound management and its application in practice. A survey was undertaken to determine how district nurses rated their knowledge of wound care. The results showed that some nurses had a very good insight into wound management, but that a significant number felt that they needed more education on wound management in the community. A wound management manual was developed in order to meet this need. The manual puts the results of research into practice, providing a useful guide to the main principles of wound management and a basis for further research.
