Description¶

The article concludes that because formal in-service training was the sole independent predictor of good knowledge while degrees conferred no advantage, hospitals should establish "structured, mandatory wound care workshops prioritizing aseptic technique, dressing selection, and infection control." It emphasizes CPD as the operational priority over basic pre-service academic upgrades.

Design Implications¶
