Phases of Wound Repair

Phases of Wound Repair

Following injury, the integrity of the injured tissues must be reestablished. For example, in skin tissue, wound repair involves coordination among resident skin cells, blood mononuclear cells, extracellular matrix, growth factors, and cytokines to complete the healing cascade.
Formation of Blood Clot
In case of deep injuries, trauma to blood vessels results in blood loss. In the meantime, phospholipids released from the ruptured endothelial cellular membrane are converted into arachidonic...

Background:

The role of the Wound Navigator is critical in managing complex wounds.
Defining the specific competencies of this role is essential for effective practice.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically map the specific skills and competencies of the Wound Navigator role.
To provide a framework for the development and evaluation of Wound Navigator expertise.

Main Methods:

A comprehensive scoping review was conducted.
Searched multiple databases (CINAHL®, MEDLINE®, etc.) and specialist association references.
Included articles in Portuguese, English, Spanish, and French, with no time limit.

Main Results:

Four primary competency domains were identified for the Wound Navigator.
These domains include: Care (prevention, treatment, advanced therapies, decision-making, empowerment, supervision)
Quality (training, peer qualification, research, audit), Leadership (change agent, teamwork, consultant), and Management (material selection, cost control).

Conclusions:

The Wound Navigator role encompasses four distinct areas of competence.
These competencies enable the role to significantly impact patient life plans when dealing with wounds.
