TY  - JOUR
AB  - Venous leg ulceration (VLU) is predominantly managed in primary care by district nurses, however much of the research takes place in secondary care. This study aimed to identify to what extent nurses are involved in publishing VLU research and to ascertain how much VLU research is conducted in primary care. Three searches of literature published between 2015 and 2020 were undertaken, reviewing VLU publications on interventions, quality of life and qualitative research. Some 37% of intervention studies had one or more nurse authors, compared with 65% of quality of life studies and 86% of qualitative research publications. Of papers that providing details of recruitment, 39% of intervention and quality of life studies included primary care as a recruitment setting. Qualitative studies were more likely to recruit from primary as well as secondary care (50%). Nurses are involved in leading VLU research but are more likely to publish quality of life and qualitative research than intervention studies. The majority of nurse authors in this field are based in academic institutions. A minority of studies utilise primary care as a recruitment setting for VLU research. More must be done to enable VLU research in community settings and to promote the involvement of clinical nurses in research.
