Aims:
To investigate how the implementation and training in the WCP affects the behaviour of generalist nurses, focusing on four specific endpoints: motivation, confidence, critical thinking and knowledge.
Methods:
A total of 89 generalist nurses received 6 hours of training in the WCP, over a period of 10-16 weeks. The participants filled a questionnaire before and after the training. Data were collected between January 2023 and January 2024.
Findings:
There was a significant improvement in the participants' wound care knowledge, motivation and self-efficacy. The participants' confidence in their wound care skills also increased after the training. A notable improvement was seen in nurses' critical thinking when treating wounds and delivering wound care.
Conclusions:
The WCP guide supports healthcare professionals in their day-to-day work and strengthens their critical thinking and knowledge of wound care management.
