Detailed description: INTRODUCTION A complex wound is a skin injury with little or no tendency to heal as long as the cause that produces it is present. Complex wounds that are difficult to heal or develop torpid or refractory to the usual treatments, do not evolve adequately in the expected time (\> 6 weeks).

The clinical practice we find is completely heterogeneous among professionals who care for people with injuries.

OBJECTS Describe the knowledge and training needs perceived by nurses in the approach to people with complex wounds of the CCSPT.

To explore the difficulties and facilitating elements that professionals perceive when dealing with people with complex wounds, from the reference area of the Parc Taulí University Hospital, over a period of 12 months.

Explain tools with scientific evidence for correct continuity of care.
