Assessing the use of simulated wounds in nurse educatio
journal contribution
posted on 2018-03-13, 13:03 authored by Melanie StephensMelanie Stephens, Davy JonesIn the past, nursing students only
had access to classroom theory
to develop their wound care
knowledge. In the project detailed
here, simulated wounds were
developed to teach nursing students at
the University of Salford about tissue
viability management, as part of a Vice
Chancellor’s funded project. The aim
was to design a collection of simulated
wounds that accurately replicated the
features of actual wounds, including
realistic wound beds, periwound areas
and exudate. While being overseen by
clinicians, nursing students were tasked
with developing essential skills and
competencies using these models.
This project was evaluated through
regular feedback from the perspective of
both lecturers and students.
