Clinical study
Keywords:
complication management, health-care, nursingAbstract
Background: Chronic wound complication management post–surgical intervention has a significant strain on health-care systems, and require a lot of staff nurse specialists for management and complexity of services, as well as high treatment costs, making it extremely difficult to obtain health care for people with wounds complications which are a serious post-operative challenge, resulting in enormous expenses to the health care system burden. Methodology: (46) patient's were included from three teaching hospitals at Mosul City, study period from November 2021 to July 2022, data were gathered by using assessment sheet to collect demographic and a wound description data which include surgical wound characteristics, wound complication assessment, and intervention follow-up format. The (TIME) approach which include (tissue, infection, moisture, and edge) was used to give clear image about wound development healing and change induced by intervention protocol application. Results of the research involve (37) diagnosed cases of wound complication after surgery. (32.4%) of age group between 18-29 years of age, (64.9%) were males and (35.1%) were females.
