Primary Research Questions:
Secondary Research Questions:
The feasibility study will recruit patients with a first-time referral to the outpatient clinic at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Copenhagen University Hospital, Hvidovre, for leg ulcers caused by arterial or venous disease or neuropathy due to diabetes. The intervention will be administered by the clinic's nurses.
After inclusion, each patient will be contacted by telephone following their next two clinic visits. The initial follow-up will assess patient characteristics, information about their wound using the Wound-Qol Questionnaire, and their perspective on receiving the intervention. The second and final follow-up will consist of an interview exploring their perspective on receiving the intervention. Additionally, focus group interviews with the nurses will be conducted to investigate their capability, opportunity, and motivation (COM-B model) for implementing the intervention. Both patient and nurse interviews will be recorded and transcribed.
