Abstract

Background: Burnout among nursing home wound care nurses is an emerging concern due to complex wound management, emotional burden, staffing challenges, and increasing resident care needs. Aim: To examine burnout levels and associated workplace and individual factors among nursing home wound care nurses Approach: A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted among 486 wound care nurses from 18 nursing homes in Italy between 1 January and 3 March 2026. Burnout was measured using the BAT-12. Workplace factors, individual characteristics, and personal resources were analyzed using descriptive statistics and linear mixed models Results: The mean BAT-12 burnout score was 2.31 (SD = 0.62). Of 486 wound care nurses, 341 (70.2%) had no burnout, 89 (18.3%) were at risk for burnout, and 56 (11.5%) were likely suffering from burnout; overall, 145 (29.8%) had clinically relevant burnout symptoms. In the final model, emotional burden (B = 0.119, p < 0.001) and work-life interference (B = 0.218, p < 0.001) were associated with higher burnout, while skill use (B = −0.091, p = 0.008), self-efficacy (B = −0.132, p = 0.001), and resilience (B = −0.104, p = 0.006) were protective. Conclusions: Burnout was common among nursing home wound care nurses and was associated with both workplace demands and individual resources, highlighting the need for integrated prevention strategies Implication for Nursing Practice: Nursing homes should reduce emotional burden and work-life interference while strengthening wound care nurses’ skill use, self-efficacy, resilience, and access to supportive work environment

Abstract

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) remain a major clinical problem because severe infection and poor healing increase hospitalization, amputation, and mortality. Patient-level factors such as nutritional vulnerability, frailty, and inflammatory burden may be clinically relevant, but integrated hospital-based evidence remains limited, particularly in Indonesian wound-care settings. Aim: To examine whether nutritional risk, frailty, and inflammatory biomarkers were associated with infection severity and healing risk in hospitalized patients with diabetic foot ulcers. Approach: This hospital-based cross-sectional study included 91 adults with active diabetic foot ulcers at General Hospital Bhakti Rahayu. Consecutive sampling was used. Eligible participants had diabetes, an active ulcer, and complete clinical and laboratory data. Ordinal and binary logistic regression analyses were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 19 Results: The mean (SD) age was 58.6 (10.9) years, 62.6% were male, 73.6% had nutritional risk, and 41.8% were frail. Infection severity was mild in 31.9%, moderate in 47.3%, and severe in 20.9%. Higher infection severity was associated with nutritional risk (aOR, 3.18; 95% CI, 1.05-9.67; P = .04), frailty (aOR, 2.24; 95% CI, 1.01-4.98; P = .048), and higher CRP per 10-mg/L increase (aOR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.05-1.42; P = .01) Conclusions: Nutritional risk, frailty, and inflammatory burden were associated with greater infection severity in hospitalized patients with diabetic foot ulcers. Implication for Nursing Practice: Nursing assessment of diabetic foot ulcers may benefit from integrating nutritional screening, frailty evaluation, and inflammatory biomarker review to support earlier risk identification and more individualized wound-care planning.

Abstract

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers require sustained self-management beyond clinic visits. Poor foot care behavior, delayed recognition of infection, and inconsistent offloading adherence may increase wound healing risk and complicate nursing-led continuity of care. Aim: To evaluate whether nurse-led hybrid self-management education using smartphone alerts improves foot care behavior in patients with diabetic foot ulcers Approach: This randomized clinical trial enrolled 152 adults with active diabetic foot ulcers using consecutive recruitment at The Cootamundra Hospital. Eligible participants had diabetes, an active foot ulcer, smartphone access, and capacity for follow-up. Outcomes were measured at baseline, 4, 8, and 12 weeks using repeated-measures ANOVA Results: Participants had a mean age of 61.8 years; 64.5% were male. Overall attrition was 9.2%. Smartphone alert delivery reached 96.5%, and 85.7% of delivered alerts were acknowledged. Foot care behavior improved more in the intervention group than in the control group at 12 weeks, with a mean between-group change difference of 15.4 points (95% CI, 12.6-18.1). The group × time interaction was significant, F(3, 408) = 50.97, P < .001, partial η² = 0.273 Conclusions: Nurse-led hybrid self-management education supported by smartphone alerts was associated with greater improvement in foot care behavior among patients with diabetic foot ulcers Implication for Nursing Practice: Structured nursing education combined with smartphone reminders may support daily foot inspection, offloading adherence, infection-warning recognition, and continuity of diabetic foot ulcer care

Abstract

Background: Guideline adherence in venous leg ulcer nursing care requires technical competence, structured patient education, and consistent wound assessment. However, evidence on how compression therapy competence relates to adherence through patient education practices remains limited in hospital-based nursing settings Aim: To examine factors associated with guideline adherence and the mediating role of patient education practices among nurses Approach: This cross-sectional study included 131 nurses recruited by consecutive sampling from March to May 2026. Eligible participants were registered nurses involved in venous leg ulcer or wound-related care. Linear regression and mediation analysis were used to examine adjusted associations Results: Total nurses who completed the study was 131. The mean (SD) age was 33.8 (6.7) years, and 96 participants (73.3%) were women. The mean (SD) guideline adherence score was 74.6 (9.8). Higher patient education practices were associated with guideline adherence (adjusted B, 2.26; 95% CI, 0.73-3.79; P = .004), as were compression therapy competence (adjusted B, 1.58; 95% CI, 0.15-3.01; P = .031) and wound assessment quality (adjusted B, 1.82; 95% CI, 0.32-3.32; P = .018). Patient education practices partially mediated the association between compression therapy competence and guideline adherence Conclusions: Compression therapy competence, patient education practices, and wound assessment quality were associated with guideline adherence in venous leg ulcer nursing care Implication for Nursing Practice: Structured compression training, standardized wound assessment, and patient education checklists may support more consistent venous leg ulcer nursing care, although longitudinal evidence is needed

Abstract

Background: Colostomy care requires long-term self-management, peristomal skin protection, leakage prevention, and psychosocial adaptation. Digital health has emerged as a contemporary strategy to strengthen post-discharge support and improve quality of life among patients living with ostomy. Aim: To synthesize recent evidence on digital health, peristomal skin complications, and quality of life in colostomy care. Approach: This structured literature review included 10 core studies published from January 2021 to June 2026. PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar were searched. Eligible studies involved adult ostomy patients and were synthesized narratively with methodological appraisal. Results: A total of 10 studies were included. Findings showed that telehealth, mobile applications, multimedia education, and continuous care improved self-care, self-efficacy, stoma adjustment, and quality of life. Peristomal skin complications remained common, with reported incidence ranging from 36.3% to 73.4%, mainly related to leakage and appliance problems. Conclusions: Contemporary colostomy care should integrate digital follow-up, nurse-led education, leakage prevention, peristomal skin protection, and psychosocial support to improve long-term outcomes. Implication for Nursing Practice: Nurses should use digital and face-to-face follow-up to strengthen self-care, detect complications early, prevent leakage, and support quality of life after colostomy
