Abstract
Objective: To identify the self-knowledge of primary care nurses about care for people with venous ulcers. Method: This is a cross-sectional study with 40 nurses working in health units. Two data collection instruments were used: characterization, developed by the author, and self-assessment on venous ulcers. Results: All questions of the self-assessment instrument reached medians classified as little level of knowledge, except questions related to the application of elastic compression therapy, with the median = 3 (moderate), and the evaluation of lower limbs to investigate arterial involvement, with 3.50, between little and moderate. The item cleaning the lesion stood out, which obtained median = 4 (little) and the highest average found in the responses, 4.03 (little). Conclusion:The nurse’s self-assessment reached moderate and low scores of clinical practice in terms of knowing (theoretical knowledge) and doing (practical knowledge) in the care of people with venous ulcers. Venous ulcer is a complex wound and requires knowledge from nurses about the pathophysiology and appropriate treatment, interfering with the improvement of the person’s quality of life. It is believed that this study can encourage the reflection of this professional and education actions in the services.

Abstract
Objetivo:Identificar o autoconhecimento de enfermeiros da atenção primária sobre assistência à pessoa com úlceras venosas. Método: Trata-se de um estudo de corte transversal com 40 enfermeiros lotados em unidades de saúde. Utilizaram-se dois instrumentos de coleta de dados: caracterização, elaborada pelo autor, e autoavaliação sobre úlcera venosa. Resultados: Todas as questões do instrumento autoavaliativo alcançaram medianas classificadas como nível de conhecimento pouco, à exceção das questões relativas à aplicação de terapia compressiva elástica com mediana = 3 (moderado) e à avaliação de membros inferiores para investigar comprometimento arterial, 3,50, entre pouco e moderado. Destacou-se o item limpeza da lesão, o qual obteve a mediana = 4 (pouco) e a maior média encontrada das respostas, 4,03 (pouco). Conclusão: A autoavaliação do enfermeiro atingiu os escores moderado e pouco da prática clínica no que tange ao saber (conhecimento teórico) e ao fazer (conhecimento prático) no cuidado à pessoa com úlcera venosa. A úlcera venosa é uma ferida complexa e exige do enfermeiro conhecimento sobre a fisiopatologia e o tratamento adequado, interferindo na melhora da qualidade de vida dessa pessoa. Acredita-se que este estudo possa fomentar a reflexão desse profissional e ações de educação nos serviços.

Abstract
The recurrence of venous ulcers is the wound reopening after a period of completed epithelisation of a previous ulcer due to exposure to causal factors and lack of prevention. Venous ulcers have a high recurrence rate that may increase through the years. Epidemiological evidence on its incidence and risk factors is scarce due to the lack of patient follow-up in outpatient clinics and adherence to treatment after healing. The objective was to analyze the incidence of venous ulcers recurrency in outpatients and the risk factors for its occurrence. It is an observational historical cohort with retrospective data collection, performed through electronic medical records. Setting: private health insurance outpatient clinic. The participants were adult patients with healed venous ulcers. Incidence of venous ulcer recurrence was calculated within individuals with healed ulcers from 2014 and 2018 with a follow-up of at least one year. Bivariate analysis and logistic regression were used to explore risk factors considering demographic, clinical, and wound-related variables. As a result, sixty-five (65) of the 134 patients with healed venous ulcers had a recurrence, leading to an incidence of 48.5%, with a mean onset time of 230.1 (SD 267) days. Patients with recurrent venous ulcers were primarily women (39/48.1%), with a mean age of 64 (SD 15.5) years, 57 (50.8%) had some comorbidity, with systemic arterial hypertension as the most frequent (47/51%). Obesity (15/88.2%) increased the risk of venous ulcers recurrence by 8.7 (OR 95% CI 2.1-60.8; P = .009) times. In conclusion, venous ulcers recurrence incidence was 48.5%, with obesity as a risk factor. This study demonstrates that the clinical approach of people with venous ulcers should not finish when the wound is healed. For ulcer recurrence prevention interventions addressing systemic factors, besides topical management of the wound, are essential.

Abstract
This paper presents the fundamental research of design, development, and evaluation of an active compression system consisting of silicone based inflatable mini-bladders, which could be used in applying radial pressure for the treatment of venous disease. The use of mini-bladders will nullify the effect of radius of curvature and provide a higher resolution to the pressure distribution. They are designed with two elastomeric layers and inflation is limited only to one side. The mini-bladders apply a radial force onto the treated surface when inflated, and the pressure inside mini-bladders could be measured using the concept of back pressure, which provides the flexibility to inflate mini-bladders to a predefined pressure. The 3-D deformation profile of the mini-bladders was analysed using finite element method (FEM) and FEM simulations were validated with experimental data, which showed good agreement within pressure region required for the treatment of venous disease. Finally, the pressure transmission characteristics of mini-bladders were evaluated on a biofidellic lower leg surrogate and the results have shown that the mini-bladders could apply a uniform pressure irrespective of the location on the leg with a 60%–70% of inlet pressure successfully transmitted onto the leg surface, while 40%–50% was available after the fat layers.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to identify, in the literature, noninvasive measures for prevention of venous ulcer recurrence (VUs). Methods: An integrative review was carried out in the databases of the Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Public Medline (PubMed), Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and Excerpta Medica Database (Embase) in the period from 2015 to 2017. the search was performed using the controlled descriptors «varicose ulcer» and «recurrence» and the Boolean operator AND between them in all databases described, in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. After the searches, two reviewers carried out the pre-selection by titles and summary of the articles followed by the full reading of the pre-selected studies. Results: 210 studies were identified, of which 188 were excluded because they did not attend to the guiding question. Two reviewers read in full the 22 pre-selected articles and included in this review nine that were part of the discussion of this paper. Conclusion: Studies in this review suggest that adherence and correct use of compressive therapy with socks associated with education and self-care measures are effective in preventing recurrence of VU. The association of acetylsalicylic acid with standard measures of treatment still lacks conclusive results and new studies to prove efficacy are suggested.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the literature related to the types of therapies for venous injuries with emphasis on use of the Unna boot, and to investigate and discuss the main aspects related to its use compared to other techniques. METHOD Integrative review of the literature of the last five years through searches in the following databases: VHL, LILACS, BDENF, SciELO, MEDLINE/PubMed. RESULTS Twenty-two publications were identified, with 15,931 cases among adult or elderly individuals, whose mean age was 60 (35-78) years or greater with no sex differences. The Unna boot presented a shorter healing time than the single and two-layer elastic bandage. CONCLUSION Although other compression techniques may prove to be more efficient than the Unna boot by adding more technology, the boot stands out as a traditional low-cost dressing. Multilayer bandage is a gold standard technique. This review demonstrated the best option may not be the Unna boot, because it requires a higher healing time compared to the multilayer bandage, but it meets the expectation with a high rate of treatment efficiency, also when compared to simple dressing, single or two-layer bandage.
