Abstract

Abstract: This article presents the 2019 Skin and Wound Survey results, which could assist in identifying gaps in nurses' skin and wound care knowledge and in developing nursing curricula and continuing professional development. The 2019 survey was conducted before the COVID-19 pandemic, and the results are compared with those from surveys conducted in 2004 and 2012. Author commentaries and additional input from the survey participants are also provided.
