“…Thus, the nurse should be careful monitoring their elderly patients, especially for vascular and skin disorders. The low level of education and the absence of an occupation also are part of the profile of the sample and is common among people with VU [10]. The low level of education may be related to the ignorance of their medical condition, which makes selfcare and evolution of injury [19].…”

“…Being a multidimensional concept, the measurement of QOL is through some variables, which aim to achieve reliable measurements and therefore, the instruments for this purpose can be generic or specific [5,10]. Generic instruments that measure QOL related to health do not assess the specific characteristics of chronic diseases and therefore, those more specific can help the recognition of individual demands contributing to the treatment [7].…”

“…This is a questionnaire adapted culturally to Brazil, which allows obtaining reliable measurements and providing an assessment of interventions and the impact of chronic VU on aspects of QOL [10]. It has good psychometric properties, it is sensitive and requires the short time of application [1,5,10], and it is useful to identify areas negatively impacted on the QOL of people with VU and contribute to the planning of a more appropriate and targeted assistance.…”

Background: Some studies claim that the presence of venous ulcers (VU) negatively impacts the quality of life (QOL) of people affected and it is a major public health problem. Healthcare of these people are complex and requires planning and involvement of the multidisciplinary team that knows the profile and demands of this population.Objective: To identify associations between socioeconomic, clinical and health aspects and quality of life (QOL) of people with venous ulcers (VU), through the Charing Cross Venous Ulcer (CCVUQ).Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, conducted in mix and family health units in Natal (42 units), Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil (N=101). Were applied two instruments: a structured form on sociodemographic, clinical, and health, and the translated and validated CCVUQ in Brazil. A descriptive statistics and Mann-Whitney test, p-value <0.05 was used for analysis.Results: There was statistically significant association and indicative of worse QOL between total score with the place of origin of the north zone and pain presence; an emotional state with age until 59 years old and venous ulcer time less or equal to one year; aesthetics with age until 59 years old.Conclusion: These results demonstrate that age, origin, presence of pain, injury time and sleep interfere with the person´s QOL with VU. The research of sociodemographic, clinical and health factors is important to planning multidisciplinary actions because they can influence the person's QOL with VU.

Objectives: to adapt the Freiburg Life Quality Assessment-Wound Module to Brazilian Portuguese and to measure its psychometric properties: reliability and validity. Method: the cultural adaptation was undertaken following the stages of translation, synthesis of the translations, back translation, committee of specialists, pre-test and focus group. A total of 200 patients participated in the study. These were recruited in Primary Care Centers, Family Health Strategy Centers, in a philanthropic hospital and in a teaching hospital. Reliability was assessed through internal consistency and stability. Validity was ascertained through the correlation of the instrument's values with those of the domains of the Ferrans and Powers Quality of Life Index-Wound Version and with the quality of life score of the visual analog scale. Results: the instrument presented adequate internal consistency (Cronbach alpha =0.86) and high stability in the test and retest (0.93). The validity presented correlations of moderate and significant magnitude (-0.24 to-0.48, p<0.0001). Conclusion: the results indicated that the adapted version presented reliable and valid psychometric measurements for the population with chronic wounds in the Brazilian culture.

Chronic venous insufficiency is characterized by cutaneous alterations caused by venous hypertension; in severe forms, it progresses to lower limb ulcers. Lower limb varicose veins are the main cause of chronic venous insufficiency, and the classic treatment includes surgery and compressive therapy. Minimally invasive alternative treatments for varicose veins include new techniques such as venous thermal ablation using laser or radiofrequency. The use of different methods depends on clinical and anatomical factors. Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy is the venous injection of sclerosing foam controlled by Doppler ultrasound. Sclerotherapy is very useful to treat varicose veins, and probably, is cheaper than other methods. However, until the present, it is the less studied method.
