Education for Venous Leg Ulcer Patients

"Usual care as described for the CG also applies to the IG. The intervention will consist of giving patients an opportunity to learn about the use of compression bandages, wearing and putting on compression stockings, physical activity, good skin care, and a high-protein, vitamin-rich diet. This group will be supervised by a study nurse, who will not be identical with the nurse in charge of the control group."
