The system level expense associated with chronic wounds has been established, however, the out\u2010of\u2010pocket cost incurred by individuals who self\u2010fund has not been the focus of extensive investigation. Recently, there has been renewed interest in evaluating quality of life, in line with the shift to patient enablement and self\u2010care in chronic disease management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The objectives of this research were to describe the out\u2010of\u2010pocket wound treatment costs and the quality of life of people who have chronic wounds. A questionnaire incorporating the Cardiff Wound Impact Schedule and purpose\u2010designed instruments was completed by a non\u2010probability, convenience sample of 113 people in Australia and Wales. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The sample was on average 63\u00b76 years of age and had wounds that were on an average 109 weeks duration. Participants had spent on average AU$2475 on wound dressing products since the wound started, and AU$121\u00b782 in the most recent 28 days which represented 10% of their disposable income. Health\u2010related quality of life was sub\u2010optimal, 6\/10 (ave) according to the Cardiff Wound Impact Schedule. Younger participants reported significantly poorer quality of life on all CWIS sub\u2010scales when compared to older participants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>This study found that chronic wounds present a significant financial cost to individuals who must self\u2010fund their wound dressings and other wound treatment related expenses. Participants who had access to wound product subsidisation also experienced personal financial costs. People who have chronic wounds experience sub\u2010optimal quality of life therefore this condition is also costly to the individual's well\u2010being. The quality of life of younger people has not received adequate attention and requires further consideration given the many years that younger people may have to live with this debilitating and often recurrent condition.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Continued action is required to reduce the financial and personal costs experienced by people who have chronic wounds. It is imperative that healthcare funding is directed to people who have chronic wounds, in particular to alleviate the out\u2010of\u2010pocket costs experienced by self\u2010funders. Continued attention to the quality of life of people who have chronic wounds is required to minimise the negative effects of this condition and enhance well\u2010being.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.12767","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,21]],"date-time":"2017-06-21T00:22:39Z","timestamp":1498004559000},"page":"1108-1119","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":110,"title":["The
