Objective To analyze the application effect of the Internet + collaborative nursing service model in the care of chronic wounds at home for the elderly. Methods Fifty-six elderly patients with chronic wounds admitted to our hospital from February 2023 to February 2024 were selected as the observation objects. 28 cases were randomly selected as the observation group and the Internet + collaborative nursing intervention model was implemented. The remaining patients were the control group and received routine care. Compare the changes in chronic wound-related knowledge and self-care ability scores before and after different nursing interventions, and record the influence of nursing models on complications. Results Before the nursing care, the comparison of knowledge related to chronic wounds and self-care ability between the two groups (P>0.05); After the nursing care, the scores of wound-related knowledge and self-care ability in the observation group were better than those in the control group, with a significant difference (P<0.05). There was a significant difference in the complication rate between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion For elderly patients with chronic wound care at home, the combination of the Internet and the collaborative care model is conducive to improving their home care ability, significantly enhancing their living standards, and ensuring the safety of home care. It is recommended for clinical promotion.
