[en] To quantify the level of knowledge and satisfaction of the nursing professionals of the Ferrol Health Area in relation to the courses on wounds and injuries related to dependency of the training program "Úlceras Fóra". METHODOLOGY: Descriptive observational and quasi-experimental study (before and after). The results of the knowledge tests and satisfaction surveys of all the courses included in the "Úlceras Fóra" program carried out during the last two years (2019-2021), aimed at nursing professionals, were evaluated. The normality of the paired groups was determined using the Shapiro-Wilk test, applying the Student's t-test or the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to observe if there were significant differences. The level of the acquired knowledge effect was determined by Cohen's formula. Values of p<0.05 were considered significant. RESULTS: This study determined the magnitude of the difference in learning acquired through 11 courses on dependency-related injuries. The overall sum reached 66 teaching hours and 11.7 continuing education credits. The number of participants was 313 professionals, of whom 291 were qualified. The overall mean number of correct answers in the first exam was 68.62% (SD=17.87) and the mean number of correct answers in the second exam was 92.38 (SD=10.22). The observed effect size was "large". The overall satisfaction obtained was 4.58 (± 0.22) points out of a possible 5 points. 99.1% of the trainees rated the training courses as "satisfactory". CONCLUSIONS: The data observed objectively demonstrate that the nursing professionals of the Ferrol Health Area have sufficient knowledge of prevention, care and treatment to prevent injuries related to dependency.
