Co-producing shared wound care education: experiences of service users and healthcare professionals.
Article in International journal of qualitative studies on health and well-being, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeShared wound care promotes collaboration between patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs) to improve wound management outcomes and enhance patient autonomy. Educational resources to support shared wound care are typically developed without the direct involvement of service users or HCPs, limiting their relevance, accessibility, and impact in community practice. This study aimed to co-produce an educational resource to support shared wound care in community settings by integrating the perspectives of both service users and HCPs.
methodsA four-phase explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed involving an online survey, focus groups and semi-structured interviews to explore the experiences, needs and preferences of HCPs and service users. Semantic thematic analysis was used to analyse the data.
resultsBoth groups prioritised clear information in a leaflet format about wound infection, wound dressing changes and the normal wound healing process to facilitate involvement in shared care tasks. Co-designing the educational resource ensured it was both clinically and contextually relevant, reflecting the real-world experiences of patients and clinicians.
conclusionsCo-producing educational resources enhances their accessibility and applicability and supports continued engagement from service users in their own care, providing a model for collaborative resource development that aligns with person-centred and self-management principles in community healthcare. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Service users with lived experience were involved in the conduct of this study.
