Resumen
CIFUENTES RODRIGUEZ, Johana Enyd y GUERRERO GAMBOA, Sandra. Nursing Interventions Aimed at Persons with Venous Ulcers: an Integrative Review. Aquichan [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.1, e2017. ISSN 1657-5997. https://doi.org/10.5294/aqui.2020.20.1.7.
Objectives:
This work sought to identify and describe the theoretical foundations, components, duration, delivery mode, and results of the nursing interventions aimed at persons with venous ulcers as available in the literature.
Materials and method:
Integrative review between 2000 and 2018 in the Pubmed, Ovidnursing, and EBSCOhost electronic databases.
Results:
This review includes 16 articles. Most of the interventions were of educational nature; three were developed in the community (through the Leg Club model) and the other ones were delivered by a nursing professional, face to face. The minimum time of duration for these was eight weeks, with telephone follow up. The most-common result variables were venous ulcer healing and reduction of the wound area.
Conclusions:
Diversity existed in relation with the components of the interventions and the results expected. Report of the interventions must be reinforced, along with the use of nursing theories that support their design.
