  • Title: Perceptions of tissue viability nurses of their current roles.
    Author: Fox C.
    Journal: Br J Nurs; ; 10(11 Suppl):S10-2, S15-6. PubMed ID: 12146177.
    Abstract:
    This qualitative and quantitative study was undertaken on a national scale. It identifies the perception of the role of the tissue viability nurse by its incumbents through the circulation of postal questionnaires sent to 173 identified tissue viability nurses, of which 87 responded. A constant comparative analysis of the responses identified the repetitive phrases and key words for the qualitative data. The quantitative responses were facilitated through the use of closed questions. The research facilitated four areas of discussion: role overview; perceived levels of education; positive/negative aspects of the role; types of wound contact and reasons.
