Our 15-item knowledge test contained four categories: 1. IAD pathophysiology, 2. IAD identification and management, 3. Differences between IAD and pressure injuries, and 4. Visual vignettes. We recruited 73 nurses from January 2022 to October 2022 in a Singapore tertiary hospital. Mean baseline IAD knowledge was low, 8.19 out of 15. Mean overall knowledge improved significantly from 8.19 to 9.51 post-test (Mean difference = 1.32, 95% CI: 0.73–1.90, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001), reflecting a 30% increase in the proportion of participants with moderate to high knowledge after the program.

Within vertebrate hosts, the parasites preferentially infect macrophages and dendritic cells, leading to cell lysis and the formation of disfiguring lesions. Current treatment regimens are hampered by high toxicity, prolonged administration protocols, and severe side effects, underscoring the need for safer and more effective therapeutic alternatives. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), multipotent non-haematopoietic progenitors with fibroblast-like characteristics, possess self-renewal capacity and the ability to differentiate into various functional cell types. Their intrinsic immunomodulatory and antimicrobial properties have positioned MSCs as promising candidates for combating infectious diseases, including leishmaniasis. This review systematically synthesises experimental evidence on the effects of MSCs on <i>Leishmania</i> parasites and the associated lesions, investigates the potential healing mechanisms of MSCs in the context of <i>Leishmania</i> infection, and outlines future research directions in this evolving field. A comprehensive literature search—spanning Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar up to 31 May 2024—identified 11 relevant studies: eight from Iran, two from Brazil, and one from Turkey. While Brazilian investigations utilised <i>L. amazonensis</i>, the others focused primarily on <i>L. major</i>, a leading cause of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL).
