Overview

An expert survey identifies barriers to evidence-based care in venous leg ulcers, suggesting multimodal interventions.

Key Points

  • To develop an evidence-based care concept for venous leg ulcers and identify barriers to effective treatment in primary care.
  • Conducted an expert survey with physicians, nurses, and patient representatives.
  • Utilized semi-structured interviews and questionnaires at two time points.
  • Applied qualitative data analysis with the Theoretical Domains Framework and descriptive statistical analysis.
  • Identified barriers such as lack of knowledge in compression therapy and resistance to primary care roles.
  • Experts expected that improved provider training and patient education would enhance care effectiveness.
  • A multimodal approach is believed to bridge gaps in current VLU management.
