Participants
The focus group consisted of eight participants, seven of
whom had experiences of chronic wounds, and one who
was a relative of someone with a chronic wound. There were
seven women and one man. A wide range of age groups were
represented (mid-30s up to mid-70s). The wound types that
the focus-group participants had were: foot ulcers associated
with diabetes; venous leg ulcers; pressure ulcers; dehisced
surgical wounds; and unspecified chronic wounds. The AWDs
that the participants talked about were honey, iodine, silver and
Flaminal® (an alginate gel containing enzymes).
Six people took part in telephone interviews. There were
three men and three women, aged from their mid-50s to their
mid-70s. The wound types that the telephone participants
had were: diabetic foot ulcers; pressure ulcers; leg ulcers; and
unspecified chronic wounds. Collectively, the telephone
participants had experiences of honey, iodine and silver dressings.
A table of participant characteristics has not been
included because of concerns that some participants could be
identifiable from their age and underlying conditions
