Abstract
Wound dressing procedures are very common and if wound contamination is limited, then there is a less chance of infection 1. In India, it is reported that 10,000 of Indians are dying every year due to wound infection. The main causes postulated for the development of wound infections in India are the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, failure of many hospitals to follow basic infection control methods like hand washing, gloving, sterilization, overall lack of hygiene in public hospitals and in the Government hospitals 2. Systematic assessment, early detection maintaining aseptic precautions and continuous monitoring are some ways of preventing wound infections 3. The investigator felt a strong need to conduct a planned demonstration on aseptic wound dressing technique which would help the staff nurses to develop proper practice and skill in aseptic wound dressing.
