OBJECTIVE To describe the development and use of a wound care simulation assessing RNs’ and graduating student nurses’ practical wound care competence and to describe observations of participants’ wound care competence. METHODS A descriptive, qualitative design was used. Data were collected in 2019 from 50 healthcare professionals and students using a simulated wound care situation and an imaginary patient case. The simulation was based on a previously developed and tested wound care competence assessment instrument, which included a 14-item checklist that assesses practical wound care competence of chronic wounds. The data were analyzed and described based on the 14 competence areas or as other competencies. RESULTS Participants showed competence in identification of wound infection, debridement, dressing selection, tissue type identification, and consultation. Participants’ shortcomings were related to pain assessment and management, asepsis, offloading, and documentation. Simulation was shown to be a promising tool to assess healthcare professionals’ and students’ practical wound care competence in a safe and standardized situation. CONCLUSIONS This study provided new information about simulation as a method to assess student nurses’ and RNs’ wound care competence. The results could be used in wound care education planning and development in both undergraduate nursing education and continuing education for nursing professionals.

“…However, the method gave a more in-depth perspective of participants’ wound care competence, especially regarding their skills and performance. When combining the results of this study with the previous quantitative data, 33 a broader picture of graduating student nurses’ and RNs’ wound care competence can be developed.…”

“…Perawat juga memiliki tanggung jawab terhadap dressing atau balutan dan memonitor luka akut. Sehingga kecepatan dan keterlambatan proses penyembuhan luka dapat dipengaruhi oleh intervensi keperawatan (Kielo-Viljamaa et al, 2021;Renwick, 2020). Oleh Karena itu, perawat harus berpengetahuan terkait proses penyembuhan luka.…”

“…The competencies of undergraduate nursing students are essential for patient safety. This has been emphasised by Uba et al (2015) and Kielo-Viljamaa et al (2021). Therefore, Ebi, Hirko and Mijena (2019) emphasise that it is essential that nurses from the initial years of enrolment in the nursing training programme be oriented to the prevention and management of existing pressure ulcers presented by patients on admission.…”

Background: Student nurses provide nursing care to patients during clinical allocation, and their competence may affect the quality of care given to the patients. Good knowledge and positive attitudes enhance early detection for prevention and management of pressure ulcers.Aim: To determine undergraduate nursing students’ knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) towards prevention and management of pressure ulcers.Setting: A nursing education institution in Windhoek, Namibia.Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional research design was used to conveniently sample (n = 50) student nurses and collect data using a self-administered questionnaire. Data were analysed using the statistical software programme (SPSS) version 27. Descriptive frequencies were applied, and Fishers exact test was performed. A statistical value of p 0.05 was considered significant.Results: Fifty (n = 50) student nurses consented to participate in the study. Student nurses reported good levels of knowledge (n = 35; 70%), attitude (n = 39; 78%), practices (n = 47; 94%). There was no statistically significant association between demographic variables and the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices, p 0.05.Conclusion: Student nurses have good knowledge, positive attitudes and practices on prevention and management of pressure ulcers. By the implications, the study concludes that the nursing students will competently manage the pressure ulcers occurring in the clinical setting. An observational study is recommended to assess practices in the clinical setting.Contribution: The findings of this study will help to close the gap in the implementation of standard operating procedures for the prevention and management of pressure ulcers.
