Wound care is an important realm of nurses' clinical responsibilities, and a broad knowledge and range of skills are needed to perform efficient and safe patient care. Nurses' knowledge on this matter can be measured using knowledge tests. This study aims to identify, define, and analyse the knowledge tests developed for the measurement of nurses' wound care knowledge, and to evaluate the psychometric properties of the tests. This study was a systematic literature review. A total of 52 studies and 18 instruments were found. Of the 18 instruments, only 5 had been used more than once and were successful in a psychometric evaluation. These five instruments were analysed on the basis of their psychometric properties by using Zwakhalen et al.'s (2006) psychometric testing framework. According to the analysis, the Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test (PUKT) and the Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Assessment Tool (PUKAT) were the most valid and reliable instruments for measuring nurses' wound care knowledge. Most of the instruments identified and analysed focused on pressure ulcers, indicating that future instruments could focus more on other types of wounds or on wound care in general in order to receive a broader understanding of nurses' wound care knowledge.
伤口护理是护士临床职责的重要领域，需要广泛的知识和技能才能为患者提供高效、安全的护理。可以使用知识测试来衡量护士在这方面的知识。本研究旨在识别、定义和分析用于测量护士伤口护理知识的知识测试，并评估测试的心理测量特性。本研究是一项系统的文献回顾。共发现 52 项研究和 18 种工具。在这 18 种工具中，只有 5 种被多次使用，并在心理测量评估中取得了成功。这五个工具是根据 Zwakhalen 等人（2006 年）的心理测量测试框架，基于其心理测量特性进行分析的。根据分析，压疮知识测试（PUKT）和压疮知识评估工具（PUKAT）是测量护士伤口护理知识最有效和可靠的工具。确定和分析的大多数工具都集中在压疮上，这表明未来的工具可以更多地关注其他类型的伤口或伤口护理的一般情况，以便更全面地了解护士的伤口护理知识。
