Role of the Nurse in Wound Treatment through Biophotomodulation

Abstract

This article sought to demonstrate how nurses impact the health and quality of life of patients undergoing treatment for wounds and pressure injuries through the use of biophotomodulation. The general objective was to understand the role of nurses in the treatment of patients with wounds through biophotomodulation therapy. The bibliographic research methodology was used, carried out through a literature review process based on qualitative research, with a selection of scientific articles and works published in the databases of the Virtual Health Library (BVS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Science (LILACS) and Google Scholar, from 2015 to 2025. In view of the data and information collected, it was highlighted that the nursing professional has an extremely relevant role in the development of such therapeutic modality, as they must have both technical and scientific knowledge about the particularities and modalities of low-intensity laser therapy technology, with its possible applications, benefits, risks and precautions to be taken, in order to guarantee a resolute and safe care practice for patients who seek this modality for the care of wounds and pressure injuries, since its use favors the acceleration of the healing process and tissue recovery, significantly impacting the improvement of health, well-being and quality of life of patients affected by such condition.
