Knowledge, Wound Care, Education LevelAbstract
The post-operative wound healing process is significantly influenced by the patient's knowledge of self-care at home. Education level is thought to be a significant factor influencing patient understanding of wound care. Objective: To determine the relationship between the level of education of post-operative patients and knowledge about wound care at the Surgical Polyclinic of KH. Mansyur Regional Hospital, Tanah Laut Regency. Method: This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. A sample of 44 respondents was selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Spearman statistical test. Results: The analysis showed a significant relationship between education level and patient knowledge of wound care (p < 0.05). Patients with higher education levels tended to have better knowledge than patients with lower education levels. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between postoperative patients' education level and their knowledge of wound care. Nurses are expected to provide education appropriate to the patient's education level to improve their ability to care for wounds independently.
