To find out what patients' attitudes were to wound care after abdominal operations to ensure that patients' own views were not violated by introducing a new method of wound care.
Randomised study.
University hospital, Sweden.
68 consecutive patients operated for benign gastrointestinal disease.
Patients were randomised to have their abdominal wounds dressed or exposed. On their last day in hospital their attitudes were assessed by visual analogue score and questionnaire.
Attitudes to wound care.
There were no differences between the two groups in any of the variables studied. The visual analogue scores for postoperative pain were higher than had been anticipated.
Most patients do not mind whether their wounds are covered with a dressing or not after abdominal operations.

随机研究。
瑞典的大学医院。
68例连续接受良性胃肠道疾病手术的患者。
患者被随机分为腹部伤口包扎或暴露两组。在他们住院的最后一天,通过视觉模拟评分和问卷调查来评估他们的态度。
对伤口护理的态度。
在研究的任何变量中,两组之间均无差异。术后疼痛的视觉模拟评分高于预期。
大多数患者不介意腹部手术后伤口是否覆盖敷料。
