Evidence-Based Project
Wound Care Education for Health Care Provider
The problem in focus is that medical practitioners lack the proper knowledge in the care and treatment of wounds that eventually either prolongs the duration for healing or results in the further development of the injury. In a study conducted by Connolly and Schumann (2014), nurses were found to be habitual when it came to offering of treatment recommendations on various degrees of wounds. To that effect, a blanket issue of instructions on self-care of minor degree burns, a cut, or a sprain developed consistent outcomes in the evaluation of nurse’s behavior. Consequently, nurses and other medical practitioners often overlook simple attributes such as analysis of different …show more content…
It is pretty important for healthcare provider to be well-versed with sound wound assessment skills as well as understanding the impact of underlying health conditions such as diabetes on the wound (Corbett, 2012). This accentuates the need for wound care education for healthcare providers as a way of honing their skills in this area.
Aims of the project
As such, this project aims at imparting evidence-based skills in wound care to healthcare providers through education with the hope of averting undesired patient outcomes such as prolonged periods of hospitalization, pain, and agony that is associated with an improperly treated wound.
PICOT question: Does Wound Care Education for Health Care Provider (I) enhance wound care skills among healthcare providers, speedy healing of wounds and alleviate pain resulting from improperly treated wounds (O) among inpatient wound care patients (P) as compared to receiving wound care through the usual wound care routine from a healthcare
