Educational Intervention to Promote Compression Therapy in People With Venous Ulcer

Background: Chronic Venous Disease (CVD) is a condition that affects a significant percentage of the world's population, and can range from mild symptoms such as telangiectasias to severe manifestations such as venous ulcers (VU). The gold standard UV treatment is compression therapy, however, people's adherence to it is variable due to several associated factors: physical, aesthetic and lack of education about compression therapy. Compression therapy acts by increasing interstitial pressure, thus decreasing the caliber of superficial and deep veins, decreasing venous pressure and edema . The study originates from clinical practice where it is observed that people do not adhere or abandon compression treatment, a situation that agrees with the literature review, so new trials on strategies to increase adherence are required (20). The proposed intervention: promoting adherence has a theor
