Abstract

This descriptive documental research aimed
to characterize the socio-demographic and clinical profile
of patients in a nursing outpatient center for the treatment
of wounds in a teaching hospital. Data collection occurred
in October 2013. The sample was 142 medical records of
patients attended between January 2007 and December
2012. The study reveals the importance of the nursing
outpatient center for treating chronic wounds. Among the
characteristics, the following stand out: a predominantly
female population 73(51.40%), and mean age of 55 years
old, and an age range of 0 to 90 years old, with the highest
percentage between 61 and 70 years old; the most frequent
wounds were venous, with 112(44.45%). In relation to the
number of wounds per person attended, 79(55.64%) had
one wound. The diseases associated with the development
of the wounds were Systemic Arterial Hypertension
67(47.18%) and Chronic Venous Insufficiency 58(40.84%).
