“…Pain in patients with VU is even more intense in the night shift, restricting their mobility, disturbing their sleep and being described by many patients as a factor that greatly influences their quality of life. (16)(17)(18)23) The expectation for the association between the general health status and the characteristics of the wound was confirmed, as the improvement of the wound status is reflected on an improvement in the general health perception of the patient. Nevertheless, a study that analyzed the quality of life of patients with mild and serious chronic venous disease did not find a significant difference in the general health status domain in the two groups of patients.…”

(14)(15)(16)(17) As per the occupation of participants, the following activities stood out: housekeeper; laundry worker; agriculturist; cook; chambermaid; among others. Similar occupations were found by other studies, with prevalence of activities with reduced mobility, long periods in an orthostatic position and short periods of rest, which may become risk factors towards unleashing venous hypertension on lower limbs, emergence and chronicity of VU.…”

“…Regardless of their etiology, chronic wounds have high incidence rates, reduce patients' quality of life and cause massive socioeconomic impact on family members and health services (6)(7) . Chronic venous ulcers are the most frequent and more than 70% of them do not heal even when appropriate topical therapy and compressive therapy are administered, leading to relapses (8) .…”

“…Demandam tratamento duradouro e complexo, são causa de lesões prolongadas e, muitas vezes, responsáveis por significativos índices de morbidade e mortalidade (4,5) . Os cuidados com as úlceras exigem atuação interdisciplinar, adoção de protocolo, conhecimento especifico, habilidade técnica, articulação entre os níveis de complexidade de assistência do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e participação ativa dos portadores dessas lesões e seus familiares, dentro de uma perspectiva holística (6)(7)(8)(9) .…”
