Enhancing Patient Outcomes Through Personalized Comprehensive Care for Perianal Wounds: A Case Series Analysis

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive and individualized approach to perianal wound care and improve wound healing outcomes, enhance patient satisfaction, and promote overall well-being for patients with perianal wounds. METHODS: From January 2020 to July 2023, a total of 32 patients with perianal skin defects were treated, ranging in age from 20 to 84 years old. A thorough assessment was conducted to gather information about the patients' wound characteristics, medical history, underlying conditions, lifestyle factors, and personal preferences. A comprehensive and individualized wound care approach based on these assessments was then developed. Multiple indicators of patients, including wound healing, pain levels, nursing satisfaction, and skin integrity, were observed. RESULTS: All 32 patients experienced either cure or improvement, with some patients showing wound reduction and subsequent healing through postdischarge dressing changes. The pain score decreased from 4.7 before treatment to 1.7 posttreatment. Further, nursing satisfaction increased from 90% before treatment to 99.8%. Individualized comprehensive nursing plans were found to be effective in alleviating pain and resulting in high nursing satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: Individualized comprehensive perianal wound care can provide tailored and holistic nursing interventions to promote optimal healing, prevent complications, alleviate symptoms, improve patient comfort, and enhance overall well-being.
