This study aimed to clarify the treatment experience of patients undergoing negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT).
This study used a qualitative design.
Seventeen inpatients were semi-structured interviewed about their experiences of treatment with negative pressure wound therapy.
Inpatients' answers were categorized into seven themes: pain and discomfort associated with treatment, physical limitations owing to attached device, mental burden owing to the odour and noises of the attached device, social limitations owing to the attached device, advances in medical care and science, device personification and mixed feelings towards medical staff. The patients were able to tolerate the aforementioned limitations while feeling attachment and gratitude towards the device created through advances in medical care and science, and towards medical staff who helped them heal. In the future, we plan to develop an NPWT care guide.
本研究旨在阐明接受负压伤口治疗（NPWT）患者的治疗体验。
本研究采用定性设计。
对 17 名住院患者进行半结构化访谈，了解他们接受负压伤口治疗的体验。
住院患者的回答分为 7 个主题：与治疗相关的疼痛和不适、因附接设备而导致的身体限制、因附接设备的气味和噪音而导致的精神负担、因附接设备而导致的社会限制、医疗保健和科学的进步、设备拟人化以及对医护人员的复杂感受。患者能够忍受上述限制，同时对医疗保健和科学进步所创造的设备以及帮助他们康复的医护人员产生依恋和感激之情。未来，我们计划制定一份 NPWT 护理指南。
