Keywords:
WOUNDS AND INJURIES, POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS, SELF CARE.Abstract
Introduction: post-surgical care and the healing process are as important as the surgical act itself, as they are not exempt from complications.
Objective: to characterize post-surgical patients and their perception and information on the healing process.
Method:descriptive, observational and transversal research in post-surgical patients who were readmitted to the Luis Gabriel Dávila Hospital due to health complications during 2022. The sample consisted of 44 patients. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis.
Results:52 % were 30 years of age or older, Diabetes Mellitus (11,36 %) and arterial hypertension (11.36 %) were the most common comorbidities. The 38,64 % reported consuming cereals, vegetable dairy products and legumes in the postoperative period and 65,91 % of the patients used pharmacological treatment. 63,64 % of the patients received wound care by nursing personnel and 61,36 % reported that they did not perform any self-care. 45,46 % reported not receiving information on wound care for wound healing. 65,91 % did not attend medical check-ups; 79,55 % reported the need for a wound care education system.
Conclusions: post-surgical complications affecting the healing process are more frequent in adults over the third decade of life, with chronic diseases. Diet, therapeutic adherence, specialized wound treatment, self-care, attendance to follow-up visits and patient education are determinants in the healing process.
