Abstract
Care means responsibility and zeal, so caring for something or someone has a process that should be interactive with development actions, attitudes, and behaviors that are based on scientific knowledge, experience, and professional intuition. To treat chronic wounds one should know its etiology and include a multidisciplinary team in decision making. Healing of a wound depends on many factors and a slow healing process may lead people to isolate themselves socially. The choice of therapy should be systematized in its many components, including the identification of a dressing that promotes healing and physical comfort and leads to improved quality of life of affected persons.
