description | Patients who have chronic wounds such as leg ulcers should be active participants in their treatment and care. This participation may include self‐treatment of the wound which involves the patient cleaning the wound, applying and removing wound dressings, and/or applying and removing compression therapy. The aim of the study was to develop a Checklist to assist nurses to appraise the conduct of wound treatment when undertaken by the patient. A three‐phase mixed methods study was conducted. A systematic and evidence‐based approach to developing and using structured observations for the study of health behaviour guided the process of developing, piloting and refining the Checklist. The resulting “Self‐Treatment of Wounds for Venous Leg Ulcers Checklist” (STOW‐V Checklist V1.0) can assist the nurse to evaluate the conduct of key self‐treatment behaviours in the areas of equipment and workspace, hand hygiene, wound dressing removal, skin care, wound cleansing and debridement, wound assessment, wound dressing application, and compression therapy application. The growing recognition that patients can benefit when involved in care, the need to enact self‐management because of COVID‐19, and the ever present competition for healthcare funding and resources are compelling reasons for patients, care providers, and healthcare services to afford the self‐management approach, and associated interventions such as self‐treatment, greater consideration. It is recommended that the STOW‐V Checklist is used with patients in a shared‐care model, with nurses and other healthcare professionals providing supervision and oversight of self‐treatment practices whenever this is feasible and acceptable to the patient. |
