In this randomised controlled trial, 87 patients with VLU from three outpatient clinics in Western Switzerland were allocated to an intervention group (IG) receiving structured education plus standard care, or a control group (CG) receiving standard care alone. The 12\u2010month intervention included in\u2010person education, counselling, and follow\u2010ups. The primary outcome was complete wound closure at 12\u2009months. Secondary outcomes included wound area reduction, patient knowledge, adherence behaviours, and ulcer recurrence. At 12\u2009months there was no significant difference in complete wound closure between groups (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.668). Wound area reduction was significantly greater in the IG at 1 month (54.0% vs. 35.6%,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.041). The IG showed earlier and greater improvements in knowledge, self\u2010efficacy, and adherence to compression therapy and mobility. No significant differences in nutritional behaviour or body weight were observed. Nurse\u2010led education improved early healing and patient engagement. Sustained behaviour change may require longer\u2010term support and targeted nutritional interventions. Future research should explore adaptive education models and digital tools for long\u2010term VLU management.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/wrr.70084","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,29]],"date-time":"2025-08-29T16:53:44Z","timestamp":1756486424000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The Impact of a Multidisciplinary Patient Education Program on Venous Leg Ulcer Healing: A Randomised Controlled Trial"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"33","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9603-1570","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sebastian","family":"Probst","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Geneva School of Health Sciences HES\u2010SO University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Western Switzerland  Geneva Switzerland"},{"name":"Care Directorate, Geneva University Hospitals  Geneva Switzerland"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine University of Geneva  Geneva Switzerland"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine Nursing and Health Sciences Monash University  Clayton Australia"},{"name":"School of Nursing and Midwifery University of Galway  Galway Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2459-3034","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Camille","family":"Saini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geneva School of Health Sciences HES\u2010SO University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Western Switzerland  Geneva Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6407-455X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paul","family":"Bobbink","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geneva School of Health Sciences HES\u2010SO University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Western Switzerland  Geneva Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9","family":"Frei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geneva School of Health Sciences HES\u2010SO University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Western Switzerland  Geneva Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fiona","family":"Dudley\u2010Martin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geneva School of Health Sciences HES\u2010SO University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Western Switzerland  Geneva Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simone","family":"Gafner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Health Sciences, Department of Physiotherapy, School of Health Sciences HES\u2010SO Valais\u2010Wallis  Leukerbad Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florian","family":"Stern","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geneva School of Health Sciences HES\u2010SO University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Western Switzerland  Geneva Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Georgina","family":"Gethin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geneva School of Health Sciences HES\u2010SO University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Western Switzerland  Geneva Switzerland"},{"name":"School of Nursing and Midwifery University of Galway  Galway Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,29]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","article-title":"Venous, Arterial, and Neuropathic Leg Ulcers With Emphasis on the Geriatric Population","volume":"15","author":"Mayrovitz H.
