Leg ulceration is a debilitating condition characterized by long periods of ulceration and a high incidence of recurrence. The quality of life of sufferers is compromised by many issues including pain and social isolation. Day-to-day care focuses predominantly on the provision of wound care, often with limited attention to the wide-ranging effects that the ulceration poses to the life of the sufferer. Part 1 of this two-part series provides a review of qualitative studies that explore the health-related quality of life of patients with chronic venous leg ulceration. Part 2 will be published in the June 2010 Wound Care Alliance supplement.
腿部溃疡是一种使人虚弱的病症，其特点是溃疡期长且复发率高。患者的生活质量受到诸多问题的影响，包括疼痛和社交孤立。日常护理主要集中在伤口护理方面，往往很少关注溃疡给患者生活带来的广泛影响。这个两部分系列的第一部分对探索慢性腿部静脉溃疡患者健康相关生活质量的定性研究进行了综述。第二部分将发表在《伤口护理联盟》2010年6月增刊上。
