The analysis of the current literature shows the fact that there are no epidemiological studies involving patients with chronic wounds in the Sardinia region. We therefore wanted to analyse and process data in this regard to obtain values on the number of home care patients with chronic wounds in the Province of Sassari, but also to understand what were the problems of the various healthcare professionals in managing this type of patient. A single instrument was used for data collection, administered to home care nurses; it emerged a high percentage of patients with chronic wounds and there was a need for a Wound Care Specialist. Numerically relevant data were obtained for Sardinia for the first time.
