Abstract

 Introduction: Wound care has also developed rapidly after the dissemination of the concept of TIME (Tissue, Infection, Moisture, and Wound Edge) in modern dressing (MD). The aim of this study was to compare modern dressings (MDs) and classic dressings (CDs) in terms of patient comfort, cost effectiveness and wound healing.Methods: A prospective study design with total of 25 participants. The sampling technique used was consecutive sampling. Patient comfort was assessed through the frequency of wound care and pain scale using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Cost-effectiveness was assessed using direct and indirect costs. Wound healing was assessed using the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT) score. The data was analyzed using the independent t and Mann-Whitney tests.Results: In terms of comfort, the mean for the number of times that wound care was performed and the pain scale in the participants using MD was (3.07 ± 0.88 times and VAS 4.59  ± 0.72, respectively), which is less compared to using CD (4.60  ±  1.84 times each and VAS 5.43  ± 0.75). Referring to the indirect and direct costs, MD (13.67  ± 6.09 and 527.63  ± 84.47, respectively) has the same cost-effectiveness as CD (14.00  ± 7.64 and 482.68 ± 98.08, respectively). In terms of healing, the mean of the BWAT score in MD (31.26  ± 1.69) was better compared to CD (33.07  ± 1.65).Conclusion: The application of MD has the same cost-effectiveness as CD with a more satisfactory outcome for the wounds in terms of comfort and healing.

Abstract

Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a leading cause of disability worldwide; however, the role of personality traits in shaping quality of life (QoL) after total knee replacement (TKR) remains poorly understood, particularly in non-Western populations. This study investigated the relationship between Big Five personality profiles and QoL in patients with KOA who underwent TKR. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted in 2019–2020 and involved 91 patients who underwent TKR between January 2015 and December 2017. Personality was assessed using the Big Five Inventory-44 (BFI-44), while quality of life was measured using the WHOQOL-BREF. Data were analyzed using Spearman's correlation and Mann–Whitney tests. Results: Most participants were women (74.7%) and aged 63–66 years (69.3%). The predominant personality profile featured low openness (80.2%), high conscientiousness (92.3%), high extraversion (89.0%), high agreeableness (83.5%), and low neuroticism (85.7%). Social relationships scored highest (65.56±7.228) and physical health lowest (58.77±3.442). No significant correlation was found between any personality domain and QoL measures (all p>0.05). Conclusions: No statistically significant relationship was found between Big Five personality profiles and QoL in patients with post-TKR KOA. The observed personality patterns reflect Asian collectivist cultural norms. Physical recovery demands may overshadow personality influences on QoL in this population. Longitudinal studies with larger, culturally diverse samples are warranted.
