Article Synopsis
- The study aims to profile diabetes patients with neuropathic and neuro-ischaemic lesions who are referred to advanced practice nurses (APNs) for chronic wound management and to assess the impact of nursing training on care for diabetic foot disease.
- Over a 6.5-year period, data from 103 patients were evaluated, noting characteristics, healing rates, and outcomes such as amputations and deaths.
- The findings highlight that effective prevention of diabetic foot ulcers relies on efficient coordination between primary care and hospitals, emphasizing the crucial role of APNs in managing and transforming patient care pathways.
(1) Abstract: Wound monitoring is an essential aspect in the evaluation of wound healing. This can be carried out with the multidimensional tool HELCOS, which develops a quantitative analysis and graphic representation of wound healing evolution via imaging. It compares the area and tissues present in the wound bed.

A multicentric, quasi-experimental pre-post study was conducted without a control group in the sanitary management areas where the APN-CCW program is being piloted. The intervention consisted of a mass training of clinical nurses from the participating districts on the proper management of injuries and the use of compression therapy.

Method: A quasi-experimental pre-poststudy without a control group with 3measurements: pre-implementation in 2015, one year after implementation in 2016, and 2years post-implementation in 2017, in the health districts (HD) where the role of the advanced practice nurse in chronic wound care was piloted in Andalusia. The main variables were trained professionals, consultancies, prevalence of chronic wounds, adequacy of treatments and economic cost in materials for the participating HD.
