¶ … qualities of chronic wounds serves as a useful selection of literature for those health professionals that are expected to treat and care patients with this type of condition. The purpose of their article was to further explain and ultimately gain a more thorough understanding of what patients may be subjectively feeling when suffering from chronic wounds. The article used a literature review and administered a study to help clear up some of the more mysterious aspects of those suffering from chronic wounds.
Before introducing their study, the authors provided ample background about chronic wounds by giving some precise and useful definition of terms. The problem was essentially framed in a manner that helped determined the scope of the research, its aims and its methodology. This part of the article is the most useful part of the submission due its clear and concise arguments.
To help determine or reject some of the know ideas about chronic wounds, a study was conducted and detailed in this article as well. 16 people with chronic wounds were interviewed to help provide qualitative data for researchers to understand more of the human nature qualities in treating those who have this condition. The survey is useful in many ways by creating a new language of dealing with chronic wounds, but the small sample size (n=16) is not a substantial amount of data to base any decent hypothesis.
Overall the article is decent and provides new data and information to an emerging model in health care. New perspectives and vantage points should always be considered in medicine and the way we treat the sick within our society. The ideas expressed in this article appear they need more validation and examination, but this attempt allows for another step in the evolution of this particular area of medicine and should be used as reference when applicable
