Health care workers must provide wound care skills and knowledge to patients or their families before discharge to help wound healing, and explain infection symptoms and signs. The purpose of this is to investigate the influence of group teaching on wound care knowledge and skills of surgical patients, patient satisfaction and the possibility to reduce teaching hours. The research is based on Solomon four-group design to study four surgical wards in a medical teaching hospital. Two of them use the new program, and others use the original teaching program. There were 300 surgical patients selected according to purposive sampling, and divided into experimental group and control group. Experimental group patients received "wound care nursing guidelines and multimedia video teaching" compiled by the researcher, and the control group received tradition care and guidance. Patient,s performance were measured with a structured questionnaire before and after education, and data were collected and analyzed by SPSS / PC software package. Experimental group and control group wound care knowledge among the four groups were not significantly different; skills progress are significant differences (p <0.05); satisfaction improve significantly different (p <0.05) and reduce the number of hours care and health education. It is hoped that this study will be a reference for other health education programs.
