Inter-rater reliability among healthcare professionals in assessing postoperative wound photos for the presence or absence of surgical wound dehiscence: A Pretest - Posttest study.
Background: Surgical wound dehiscence (SWD) has various definitions, which complicates accurate and uniform diagnosis. To address this, the World Union Wound Healing Societies (WUWHS) presented a consensus based definition and classification for SWD (2018).
Aim: This quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study investigates the inter-rater reliability among healthcare professionals (HCP) and wound care professionals (WCP) when assessing wound photos on the presence or absence of SWD before and after training on the WUWHS-definition.
Methods: Wound expert teams compiled a set of twenty photos (SWD+: nineteen, SWD-: one), and a video training. Subsequently, 262 healthcare professionals received the pretest link to assess wound photos. After completion, participants received the posttest link, including a (video) training on the WUWHS-definition, and reassessment of fourteen photos (SWD+: thirteen, SWD-: one).
Primary outcomes: 1) pretest-posttest inter-rater-reliability among participants in assessing photos in congruence with the WUWHS-definition 2) the impact of training on assessment scores.
Secondary outcome: familiarity with the WUWHS-definition.
Results: One hundred thirty-one participants (65 HCPs, 66 WCPs) completed both tests. The posttest inter-rater reliability among participants for correctly identifying SWD was increased from 67.6 % to 76.2 %, reaching statistical significance (p-value: 0.001; 95 % Confidence Interval [1.8-2.2]). Sub-analyses per photo showed improved SWD posttest scores in thirteen photos, while statistical significance was reached in seven photos. Thirty-three percent of participants knew the WUWHS-definition.
Conclusion: The inter-rater reliability among participants increases after training on the WUWHS-definition. The definition provides diagnostic criteria for accurate SWD diagnosis. Widespread use of the definition may improve uniformity in care for patients with SWD.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Tissue Viability is the official publication of the Tissue Viability Society and is a quarterly journal concerned with all aspects of the occurrence and treatment of wounds, ulcers and pressure sores including patient care, pain, nutrition, wound healing, research, prevention, mobility, social problems and management.
The Journal particularly encourages papers covering skin and skin wounds but will consider articles that discuss injury in any tissue. Articles that stress the multi-professional nature of tissue viability are especially welcome. We seek to encourage new authors as well as well-established contributors to the field - one aim of the journal is to enable all participants in tissue viability to share information with colleagues.
