Patient Experience Supplement

For a patient who is used to being in full health, the experience of dealing with a wound can be complex and unsettling. Various symptoms, emotions and reactions to wounds can prevent people from living the life they want to live and, in some cases, even delay healing. For many years, the focus of wound management has been on wound healing, but for those patients living with a wound 24/7, this focus is very different.

Research into the patient experience of wound healing provides evidence of the stress associated with having a wound and the impact that coping strategies and levels of social support can have on patient outcomes.
