A non\u2010random sample of 100 participants was recruited. Participants were aged 18 years or older and currently or previously had a chronic wound that they self\u2010treated.

The sample scored 33\u00b79\/40 on the Generalized Self\u2010efficacy Scale and 68\/100 on the Medical Outcomes Social Support Scale. The majority of the 89 participants who used a wound dressing used a product that targeted bacteria (n = 59, 66.3%).
