Ngu Danh Son, Phan Thi Huyen Trang, Nguyen Thi Thu Hang and Nguyen Thi Kim Quyen

This study assesses the wound care knowledge among nursing students at Tay Nguyen University, emphasizing the critical role of wound care in clinical practice. Enhancing this knowledge is essential for improving patient care quality. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 159 voluntary participants, utilizing the “C/WoundComp” instrument for data collection. The findings revealed an average participant age of 20.3 years and a low overall knowledge level, with a mean score of 21.4±4.4. Notably, 56% of students demonstrated poor knowledge, while only 0.6% exhibited a good understanding. Knowledge levels varied significantly by academic year, with third-year students achieving the highest scores (mean 23.0±3.4) and second-year students the lowest (mean 18.5±4.6). The study underscores the urgent need to enhance wound care education among nursing students to bridge the knowledge gap and improve their competence in this vital area.
