Quasi-experimental design improved wound care knowledge and skills in nurses, indicating training effectiveness.
Background: Wound management is still a major worldwide healthcare issue that requires advanced nursing competencies for effective healing. Nurses often face limitations due to knowledge gaps and insufficient training. Aim: This study intends to increase the knowledge and abilities of staff nurses in wound assessment and management by means of focused educational interventions. Methods: An intervention study of a single-group was used by quasi-experimental technique on 80 nurses in the Raparin administration hospitals from 5th January 2025 to 31st March 2025. The intervention was a lecture and hands-on seminars via using wound medical simulators and a bilingual pamphlet (Kurdish and English). Participants’ knowledge and wound-dressing skills were evaluated before and after the intervention using a questionnaire and checklist. Results: The results showed a significant improvement in nurses' wound care knowledge and skills following the educational intervention. The mean knowledge score increased from 10.84 (SD = 2.13) to 13.61 (SD = 2.53), and the mean skill score rose from 42.93 (SD = 5.26) to 56.95 (SD = 5.91). Both improvements were statistically significant (p < 0.001), according to Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. Conclusion: The study revealed that targeted educational interventions can significantly enhance nurses’ knowledge and skills in wound care. Integrating regular training and evidence-based guidelines into clinical practice is essential to maintain high standards of care and promote ongoing professional development.
