Canadian Association of Wound Care

In partnership with the Canadian Association of Wound Care, Kevin Y. Woo, PhD, RN, FAPWCA, is conducting a survey to better understand the current knowledge, practice patterns, and problems faced by clinicians in the management of patients with leg ulcers and coexisting circulation problems (often referred to as mixed venous arterial leg ulcers). With a research grant provided by the School of Nursing, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, clinicians developed a survey and invite fellow clinicians to take a few minutes to complete this survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/legulcersKAP.

 

Survey participation is completely voluntary. Participants may stop at any time after starting the survey and ignore any questions. No personal information is required, and investigators would not know who participated in the survey. By participating in the survey, clinicians can help identify issues, gaps, and best practices for patients with leg ulcers and circulation problems.

 

To address any concerns about one's rights as a research participant, contact Dr Albert Clark, chairperson of the Queen's University Health Sciences and Affiliated Teaching Hospitals Research Ethics Board at 613-533-6081.
