Interest in clarification of the role of the WOC nurse as a specialized or advanced practice practitioner is increasing. Although much has occurred to delineate practice parameters, lack of expectations for specialty versus advanced nursing practice still exists. This article will differentiate advanced, specialty, and WOC nursing practice by examining their legal definitions, educational requirements, licensure, certifications, and practice milieus. Implications for the future of WOC nursing are posed within the context of the evolving American health care system.
对明确伤口、造口及失禁护理（WOC）护士作为专科或高级执业从业者角色的兴趣与日俱增。尽管在界定实践参数方面已取得诸多进展，但对于专科护理与高级护理实践的期望差异依然存在。本文将通过审视其法律定义、教育要求、执照、认证及实践环境，来区分高级护理、专科护理和WOC护理实践。在美国医疗保健系统不断演变的背景下，探讨了WOC护理的未来发展方向。
