Sleep Quality Among Patients With Venous Ulcers
Sleep Quality Among Patients With Venous Ulcers
It is not possible to state conclusively that venous ulcers are responsible for poor sleep quality, but alterations in sleep quality were observed in the study population. Thus, the results reaffirm the need to implement a holistic approach to care for patients with venous ulcers. This holistic approach should aim to identify alterations in patients' sleep patterns, and should be implemented in health care settings, such as hospitals, outpatient clinics, and home-based care, among others. It is also important to identify any significant health care needs, and to evaluate the capacity of the caregiver to control this type of condition.
