Background: Wound care is one of the significant nursing responsibilities that requires excellent skills and knowledge to minimize complications, such as infection, an amputation, or, in severe cases, even death. Effective wound dressing promotes wound healing, minimize hospitalization and saving costs. Objective: This scoping review aimed to provide an overview of the knowledge, practices, and attitude regarding wound dressing among nurses who responsible for wound dressing in PHC, hospitals and clinical setting.Methodology: CINHAL, PubMed, MEDLINE, ProQuest, Cochrane Library, and Science Direct databases were searched to cover published research in the period between 2015 to 2020. 15 articles out of 3153 were analysed. The following searching terms were used: nurse's knowledge (or / and)/nurse's practice AND wound dressing OR wound care OR wound management AND primary health care center OR hospitals OR clinical setting OR healthcare facility. Results:The majority of the articles demonstrate that the nurse's knowledge regarding wound dressing was insufficient in various domains. The results may explain the unsatisfactory level of nurse's practice in wound dressing by most nurses. The finding also recommends that updating nurses' knowledge by frequent wound management courses and clinical training has a positive effect on safe wound dressing practice. Conclusion:There were insufficient wound dressing practices among the registered nurses, although the majority of the nurses enrolled in studies who had clinical experience and attended training programs. In addition, the unsatisfaction of clinical practice of wound management and the reasons that most of the participants are not performing standard dressing protocols are due to significant barriers for practicing the proper technique of wound dressing such as time-consuming procedure, heavy workload, lack of adequate staff to assist in dressing procedure and lack of sufficient supplies. Therefore, further research required more attention to identify and implement effective strategies to enhance health professional knowledge regarding wound dressing management.

“…Effective wound care promotes wound healing and leads to early discharge and saving costs. The dressing protects the wound from injury, prevents introduction of bacteria, reduces discomfort, and speeds healing (5).Even to prevent such post-operative complications, it is necessary to study existing wound care practices and measure the difference between these and, ideally, to lean more towards evidence-based practices for wound care (6).…”

Background: Post-operative wound care is a care that applied sterile gauze or bandage to wound to promote healing and protect the wound from further harm after surgical operation is done internally or externally to the involved organs. Post-operative Wound care is a nursing duty that requires excellent skills and knowledge to prevent massive complications such as infection, gangrene and amputation or, in severe cases, even death. Methods: Hospital based cross sectional study design was implemented and the total sample size was 375 nurses working in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Mekelle Hospital and Quiha hospital. Pre-test was done on 10 % of the sample size. Data was collected by observation and face to face interviewing using pre tested checklist and structured questionnaire respectively from March 20, 2019 to May 20, 2019. Simple random sampling was used. Data was coded, entered and analyzed using SPSS version 22.0 for statistical analysis. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to determine the predictor variables to the outcome variables with 95% confidence level at p-value of < 0.25 and finally p-value < 0.05 was described as statically significant. Result: A total of 375 respondents were participated in the study. Among them, 234(62.4%) were women. The overall nursing post-operative wound care practices were poor 258(68.8%). Work experience (AOR=0.47, 95%CI; 0.26-0.86), level of education (AOR=0.03, 95%CI; 0.004-0.25) and lack of materials (AOR=0.29, 95%CI; 0.09-0.89) was found to be associated with nurses post-operative wound care practice. Conclusion and recommendation: Factors such as work experience, educational level and lack of materials were statically significant association with nurses post-operative wound care practice. Highly qualified nurses should be engaged in training of other staff nurses in the tenderized dressing techniques of postoperative wounds.

Background: Surgical site infections (SSI) compose of 20% of all healthcare-associated infections. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional survey was conducted to assess the surgical site dressing practices. Event sampling was adopted, and 88 dressing procedures were observed. The perceived barriers in following infection control measures were assessed by questionnaire. Results: There was a lack of aseptic wound dressing practices among healthcare professionals. Heavy workload and inadequate staff to assist in dressing procedures were considered as the major barriers. Conclusion:Evidence-Based practice guidelines should be established, and healthcare professionals should adhere to the infection control measures to reduce the incidence of SSI.
