Abstract

During treatment of wounds, nursing professionals need to consult several information to decide what to do and need to record the information produced. This paper reports an investigation into the information needs of nursing professionals during the treatment of wounds. A 14-questions questionnaire was applied to 50 participants in a Larval Therapy course, a type of wound treatment. The questionnaire addressed the participants’ profile and their information needs. After the individual descriptive analysis of the collected data in each question, possible relationships among some answers were analyzed to verify the influence of the participants’ profile on their information need. Important information was identified about patient, his wounds, sources of information used, ways of recording information produced during the wound care, and about the kinds of informational support software could offer to wound care. A better understanding of information needs during wound treatment can help to improve informational support to health professionals.
