Abstract: This narrative review outlines the potential benefits of supporting clients to successfully change existing patterns of behavior in the context of wound care. In acknowledging the complexities involved in changing deeply ingrained patterns of behavior, the case for developing interventions based on evidence is presented. The evidence-based psychological targets, which are recommended for inclusion in behavior change interventions, are outlined together with their theoretical derivatives. An example of an intervention developed using evidence-based techniques is presented.

     It is always an honour to be asked to put together a special edition of a journal, particularly when it focuses on topics that are close to your heart. Keeping patients as the focus of our practice ensures that we focus on their health-related experiences and not just on the clinical signs and symptoms of their wounds.
