Management of surgical wounds is an important part of post-operative recovery
should monitor the process of acute wound healing, prevent wound complications and
treat appropriately if complications arise. Aim of this study was to evaluate the effect
of self-learning package based on wound healing among Patients Undergoing
abdominal surgery. Design, quiz experimental design was utilized. Sample: A
purposive sample of 90 married Patients Undergoing abdominal surgery and randomly
divided into study and control group. Setting: The study was carried out at surgical
ward (male and female) and surgical outpatient unit in Benha University Hospital at
Benha University. Tools: Data were collected through three main tools: A selfadministered questionnaire to assess students’ general characteristics and knowledge
regarding cervical cancer prevention, health belief model, and questionnaire to assess
intention to practice cervical cancer prevention behaviors. Results: There was highly
statistically significant difference after self-learning package implementation observed
between two groups regarding knowledge and patient activities about wound healing
after abdominal surgery. The mean scores of wound healing assessment during first,
second and third ten days were significantly higher in the study group compared to
control group (p=.001). Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, the self
-learning package had appositive effect on Patients undergoing abdominal surgery
which increase knowledge and activities to promote wound healing. These study
findings were supported the study hypotheses. Recommendation: Dissemination of
self- learning package based on wound healing among patients of abdominal surgery
prevent delayed of wound healing.
