Abstract
  • Patient education is essential for increasing health literacy and compliance with plan-of-care approaches. The occupational therapist's role is to help preserve and restore participation in meaningful activities for increased quality of life by addressing the physical and psychological well-being of the individual. The purpose of this project was to create patient educational resources for enhanced knowledge and health literacy within the wound care population. This study utilized a survey methodology to collect knowledge and perceived knowledge scores from the patient population at MHP Wound Center regarding wound care prevention and management strategies before and after a six-week educational series. Participants demonstrated increased knowledge and perceived knowledge of holistic preventative techniques after completion of the educational series. The findings of the study supported the need for educating patients at the wound center on preventative and management techniques for increased health literacy and patient outcomes. Keywords: Patient education, knowledge, wound care, quality of life, preventative techniques
