Objective To explore the application value of the theory of moist wound healing in outpatient dressing change nursing. Methods A total of 60 patients undergoing wound dressing changes in the outpatient department of our hospital from January 2025 to December 2025 were selected as the observation subjects. They were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 30 cases in each group. The control group (30 cases) received traditional dry nursing intervention, while the observation group (30 cases) received moist wound nursing intervention. The clinical-related indicators (interval between dressing changes, wound healing time, pain level, and frequency of dressing changes) and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results The observation group showed superior clinical indicators and nursing satisfaction compared to the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion For patients requiring wound dressing changes, the theory of moist wound healing demonstrates higher practical value. This method can effectively reduce the frequency of dressing changes, alleviate the pain associated with dressing changes, accelerate wound healing, and improve patient satisfaction with such dressing change nursing services.
