Changes in the manner of dressing of surgical wounds in the last 30 years
SPILKOVÁ, Eliška
Surgical wound care - dressing is a set of activities that favorably affect the healing process. The course of dressing under aseptic conditions is important to avoid infection in the wound and unpleasant complications. The aim of this diploma thesis is to analyze the changes in the way surgical wounds are used, especially in the last three decades. In connection with the analysis of the text, a research question was asked: How has the method of dressing surgical wounds changed in the last 30 years? We set 5 hypotheses. H1: nurses who have been in practice for more than 10 years prefer sterile devices stored in containers to wound dressings over nurses who have been in practice for less than 10 years. H2: Nurses who have been in practice for more than 10 years prefer the no-dose system more often than nurses who have been in practice for less than 10 years. H3: Nurses who have been in practice for more than 10 years have seen more changes in the method of dressing in the last 30 years than nurses who have been in practice for less than 10 years. H4: Nurses who have been in practice for more than 10 years claim that there have been no changes in the disinfectant and treatment solutions used for dressings during their practice. H5: From the point of view of nurses who have been in practice for more than 10 years, wound dressings are performed more aseptically now than 30 years ago. The empirical part of this diploma thesis was processed on the basis of qualitative and quantitative research. Data collection was performed through a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. After saturating the answers, a total of 10 interviews and 272 questionnaires were included in the empirical part of this work. The results of the research show that the main changes that have occurred in the last three decades include changes in medical and disinfectant solutions, wound dressings, sterilization packaging, sterile material handling system, wound dressings used and, last but not least, wound healing .
