What Nurses Need to Learn Before Caring for Wounds: The Weapon Doesn’t Secretly Need to Know
Keywords:
anatomy and pathosphysiology of skin , wounds, wound healing process, wound closure, classification of wounds, nursing roles for wound healingAbstract
Currently, wounds remain a challenging clinical problem with complications from acute, chronic, and complicated wounds. Wounds and skin disorders have had a huge impact on the global population as well as the physio-psychological wellbeing of the patients. This is a crisis for health teams, especially for the nurses who care for the wounds. The more it is necessary to reduce the severity of the wound, the greater the effort must be made to focus on understanding the physiological aspects of wound healing, the pathogenesis of chronic wounds, and cognition of their structure. The functioning of the skin and wound healing process is important, so nurses must focus on the role of proper wound management for wound healing.
