Study 1
:
Course content related to chronic wounds in nursing degree
programs in Spain.
Brief Description of Method Employed:
This study was conducted to determine the amount of material
being taught in nursing degree programs in Spain that was
related to chronic wounds using a quantitative cross-sectional
design. “Chronic wounds are a major factor in morbidity,
mortality, and healthcare costs.” (Romero-Collado, Raurell-
Torreda, Zabaleta-Del-Olmo, Homs-Romero, & Bertran-Noguer,
2015).
Data Collection Steps (add more steps if needed)
Study – describe the process of how data were collected
Comments about the data collection
Step 1
Analysis/Identified problem: Analyze the material related to
chronic wounds being taught in nursing degree programs in
Spain.
This study identifies if nurses were adequately educated about

3. the prevention and treatment of chronic wounds.
Step 2
Identify the source of data collection
The source of the data collection includes identifying the
colleges, universities, and education centers that offered nursing
education.
Step 3
Method of data collection
The data was collected by analyzing the required courses that
were either exclusively about chronic wounds or included
information about chronic wounds. The information used in this
study also had this information available online to the public by
publishing the course description.
Step 4
Data collection
Data was collected by gathering the course descriptions online
that were available from June and July of 2012 from the 114
centers in Spain that offer a nursing degree.
Step 5
Findings
Of the 114 centers with nursing degree programs, 95 post course
content online which make it possible to analyze 2,258 courses.
In 60 of these centers none of the courses included the concept
of pressure ulcer prevention, and the course content posted by

4. 36 centers made no mention of their treatment. None of these
course descriptions contained any information related to pain
management due to chronic wounds. Of 728 elective courses,
only one was related to chronic wounds. (Romero-Collado,
Raurell-Torreda, Zabaleta-Del-Olmo, Homs-Romero, & Bertran-
Noguer, 2015).
Conclusion:
In conclusion, this study evaluated information made available
to the public online by various educational centers offering
nursing degrees in Spain. The findings of this study determined
that there was not one course that discussed pain management in
patients with chronic wounds. Additionally, this study found
that treating pressure ulcers were addressed more than
preventing pressure ulcers. In all, this study found that there is
a theory-practice gap in the field of nursing in Spain.

5. Study 1
:
Course content related to chronic wounds in nursing degree
programs in Spain.
Brief Description of Method Employed:
This study was carried out to analyze content related to chronic
wounds in nursing degree programs in Spain. Researchers
analyzed the degree programs offered by the 114 teaching
centers that award the degree in nursing in Spain, as indicated
by Spain’s official database of universities, centers, and
diplomas offered, the Registro de Universidades, Centros y
Titulos. The method they used was a quantitative method where
they began to take the sample collection from June 11 to July 6,
2012. Researchers accessed the web page for each center and
assessed the program content that was available online. The
conclusion indicates that pain management in patients with
chronic wound is not addressed in any course and more courses
consider the treatment of pressure ulcers than their prevention.
Data Collection Steps (add more steps if needed)
Study – describe the process of how data were collected
Comments about the data collection
Step 1
Define the purpose of collecting data.
To analyze content related to chronic wounds in nursing degree
programs in Spain (p.51).
Step 2

6. Select a feasible data collection approach.
Two researchers independently analyzed the content of each
course description and reached a consensus agreement. A third
researcher was available to review the course information in the
event of any discrepancy (p.53).
Step 3
Select a delivery method that is appropriate for the study design
and the subjects
The method used for data collection was quantitative research
study (p.53)
Step 4
Write realistic, reliable, and thorough protocols for collecting
the data
Data collection was obtained by researchers who had access to
the web page for each center, and assessed the program and
course that was available online (p.53)
Step 5
Design forms and instruments for collecting valid and reliable
data.
A data collection form was designed ad hoc to record the data
obtained about each degree program and course. Online data
collection was the instrument used in this study (p.53).
Step 6

7. Train staff in data collection methods and/or write clear
instructions for subjects to guide data submission
Researchers developed different variables:- number of years of
the 4 years undergraduate degree in nursing for which online
access to courses was available.- Total number of required
courses, basic courses, guided practice and final project.-
Number of required courses with a title explicitly containing the
word chronic wound. And number of required courses, basic
courses that included any of the following content: pain and
chronic wounds, pain control or management, prevention of
pressure ulcer (p.53)
Step 7
Develop a plan to manage data and transfer them to analytic
software
Univariate descriptive method were used to analize the data.
IBM SPSS statistic 19 was used for analysis (p.54).
Conclusion:
In all research it is necessary to carry out a data collection, in
this way this is a fundamental step to be successful in our
results. Data collection is a component of research in all fields
of study. The goal for all data collection is to capture quality
evidence that allows analysis to lead to the formulation of
convincing and credible answers to the questions that have been
posed. The most widely used data collection method is the
survey, which is used to gather information directly from
respondents about their experiences, behaviors, attitudes, or
perceptions. Other data collection methods include paper-and-
pencil tools, online means, computer-based technologies, social
media, handheld devices, audio-delivery devices, and mining of

8. “big data.” Each has specific advantages and disadvantages
related with the goals of the research study.
