  • Title: Improving quality of life in venous leg ulceration: a case study.
    Author: Bentley J.
    Journal: Br J Nurs; ; 15(11):S4-8. PubMed ID: 16835514.
    Abstract:
    It is not uncommon to find that patients with venous leg ulcers have a reduced quality of life, but to prevent inappropriate management and thus contribute to the chronicity of these wounds, clinical practice must be based on sound evidence and application of research. The choice of compression options is fairly wide, but occasionally problems are encountered with tailoring a particular product to a patient. In this case study, a number of challenges were presented to the nursing team in implementing evidence-based practice and accommodating patient choice, but these were overcome and the patient's quality of life has significantly improved.
