Abstract

Cartoon education methods have been used effectively as a teaching tool and were considered potentially useful to improve nurses’ knowledge and professional skills to ensure quality patient care. Therefore, this study aimed to enhance nurses’ knowledge of wound care using the cartoon visual education program. After the 4 weeks, nurses were given questionnaires about knowledge of wound care, self-efficacy, situation anxiety, and trait anxiety to understand the nurse’s situation before and after the teaching program analysis. Significant differences were observed in their education level, rank, marital status, and whether or not they had children, and received wound education. Linear regression results show significant differences in wound care knowledge and situational anxiety. The study indicates that cartoon visual education is enhancing nursing staff’s knowledge of wound care and mitigating situational anxiety and thus can improve the quality of wound care by nursing staff and is used to standardise wound care education, resulting in better wound care services.
