ObjectiveTo explore the practical effect of standardized management path for inpatients with chronic and difficult-to-heal wounds.MethodsThe inpatients with chronic and difficult-to-heal wounds in People’s Hospital of Deyang City from July 2015 to June 2019 were collected. According to the random number table, the patients were divided into control group and intervention group. The control group were given routine management and the intervention group were given standardized management. Skin symptoms, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), wound healing time, length of hospital stay, efficacy, complications, satisfaction and scar hyperplasia were recorded and compared.ResultsA total of 605 patients were included. There were 314 cases in the control group and 291 cases in the intervention group. Before treatment, there was no significant difference in skin symptom score or VAS score between the two groups (P>0.05); after treatment, the skin symptom scores and VAS scores of the two groups decreased (P<0.05), and the scores in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The wound healing time [(24.21±1.42) vs. (18.59±1.63) d; t=45.301, P<0.001] and length of hospital stay [(26.97±1.54) vs. (20.03±1.42) d; t=57.492, P<0.001] in the intervention group were shorter than those in the control group. All patients were followed up. The total effective rate (χ2=3.911, P=0.048) and satisfaction (χ2=4.340, P=0.037) of the intervention group were higher than those of the control group. The degree of scar hyperplasia (Z=4.913, P<0.001) and the incidence of complications (P=0.039) of the intervention group were also lower than those of the control group.ConclusionsThe standardized management of hospitalized patients can significantly shorten the chronic and difficult-to-heal wounds healing time, reduce the occurrence of complications, improve the patient’s satisfaction and prognosis. It is worthy of clinical application.
