Using a bandage pressure monitor as an aid in improving bandaging skills

Abstract

This prospective study used a bandage pressure monitor to assess the bandaging skills of 16 nurses caring for patients with venous leg ulcers. Baseline measurements showed that only 50% of the nurses demonstrated bandaging skills that were adequate to good. However, by the end of the feedback/post-training session, 81% of those examined had reached this standard and this figure rose to 86% on recall. These data seem to support the view that the use of a pressure monitor is a useful adjunct in the teaching of bandaging skills.
