Core Tip

Core Tip: Combining solution-focused brief therapy with negative pressure wound therapy can significantly enhance the healing process of wounds, improve psychological well-being, and help patients regain confidence. Solution-focused brief therapy is a brief psychotherapy approach that focuses on the client’s strengths and resources, emphasizing the present and future rather than past problems, to help individuals create positive changes and achieve their goals. Negative pressure wound therapy, on the other hand, is a physical therapy method that applies subatmospheric pressure to wounds to promote blood circulation, reduce infection, and accelerate the healing process.
