dc.description.abstractIt is now recognised that psychosocial factors – anxiety and depression, social isolation, low economic status and pain, for example – are associated with delayed healing of wounds. However, little research has been undertaken to examine how these factors may not only be a consequence of delayed healing, but may also play an important role in delaying healing. It is suggested that an evaluation of a patient’s psychosocial status should therefore be included as part of a general wound assessment.
