  • A novel data collection tool was developed based on nursing expectations and refined against actual wound recovery.
  • Patients were categorized into age groups (under 20, 20-70, 70+) to assess risk factors for wound management.

    • Main Results:

    • The study measured wound healing against established nursing expectations (better than, average, less than).
    • Factors like wound appearance, complications, and antibiotic use were recorded.
    • Findings indicated a minimal level of complications for surgically acquired wounds at the hospital.

    Conclusions:

    • The collected data provides a baseline for future wound healing performance comparisons.
