Observational study of the second-line nursing consultation in wounds and scarring: A didactic situation under construction

Introduction and objective: In the activity of wound and scar nurses (Infirmières spécialisées en plaies et cicatrisation; ISPC), the “second-line” nursing consultation is also an opportunity to offer applicants the opportunity for training. This study is part of an exploratory perspective, with the objective of questioning the didactic dimension of this type of consultation. To address the issue, attention is focused on the analysis of the ISPC’s activity.
Material and method: Two simple self-confrontation interviews of an ISPC are analyzed on the basis of video consultations.
Results and discussion: Although the results identified remain incomplete since the interviews were based on a single individual, this article shows how the ISPC, after the interviews, is able to formulate future adjustments to their practice. The first avenue is to highlight a necessary transformation of the discourse of the ISPC during consultations. The second is to question the modality of the post-consultation follow-up.
