Description
Farzi and co-authors interviewed nurses at an Iranian surgical and trauma center in 2026 about working alongside a specialist wound care nurse. General nurses often report thin training and support for wound care, a daily part of their work. The team spoke in depth with 10 people, including staff nurses, head nurses, the specialist herself, and a nursing instructor, with interviews averaging 35 minutes during 2024 and 2025.
Four main categories organized the accounts, covering specialist care itself, continuity of care, nurse empowerment, and challenges needing improvement. Nurses said the specialist sped healing, cut complications, and made decisions more evidence-based, while also teaching colleagues through hands-on coaching across the wards. Barriers were practical rather than clinical, since staff shortages, an undefined formal post for the role, and patchy management backing all limited what the specialist could achieve.
