OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of Unna boot therapy on subjective wellbeing, hope and spirituality in patients with venous leg ulcers (VLU).
METHOD: This was a prospective, descriptive, analytical, multicentre clinical trial conducted in a nursing care and education centre, an outpatient wound care clinic and a primary health care unit in Brazil. Adult patients with VLUs took part in the study. Patients with diabetic foot ulcers and mixed ulcers were excluded. A questionnaire assessing sociodemographic and religious characteristics of patients, the Subjective Wellbeing Scale, the Spirituality Self-Rating Scale (SSRS), and the Herth Hope Index (HHI) were administered to all patients.
RESULTS: A total of 60 patients (63.3% female; 86.7% aged ≥60 years) participated. Before Unna boot therapy, 65%, 66.7% and 65% of patients reported a score of one on positive affect, negative affect and life satisfaction, respectively, indicating poor subjective wellbeing. After one month of compression therapy, 66.7%, 50.0%, and 80.0% of patients reported a score of three for each element positive affect, negative affect and life satisfaction, respectively, showing a significant improvement in subjective wellbeing (p=0.029). A significant increase in total SSRS scores (p=0.017) was found between baseline (mean: 9.77) and one month of treatment (mean: 25.47), indicating a significant increase in a sense of spirituality. There was also a significant increase in total HHI values (p=0.009) between baseline (mean: 15.68) and one month of compression therapy (mean: 39.38), suggesting a significant increase in hope among patients.
CONCLUSION: Patients with VLUs treated with Unna boot therapy in this study showed significant improvement in subjective wellbeing, spirituality and hope for cure.
