Resumen
MARRERO GONZALEZ, Cristo Manuel. Repercussions of suffering a Venous Ulcer. Ene. [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.2, 14214. Epub 25-Ene-2021. ISSN 1988-348X.
Venous ulcers pose an important health problem, especially for people over 65 years of age. Having a venous ulcer involves complications such as continued pain, enduring a bad smell from the wound itself, functional limitations to be able to wander and possible problems of therapeutic adherence. The purpose of this paper is to show the repercussions that a person with this type of injury has on a biopsychosocial level. It shows that not only one leg is affected, but a person as a whole as these injuries end up affecting the person physically, functionally, emotionally, socially, work and even at the level of personal fulfillment. It is proposed a comprehensive nursing care and also develop the figure of the wounds consultant nurse with a holistic vocation and non-functionalist care.
