Abstrakt: Patient-centered care (PCC) is recognized as a standard in healthcare for determining high quality. Honoring patients' values, experiences, needs, and preferences in devising, coordinating, and delivering care underscores the enhancement of the therapeutic rapport between patients and healthcare providers. Wound treatment involves a multi-stage process encompassing diagnostics and local wound dressing, which reduces the risk of infection through a coordinated interdisciplinary team. Within this team, nurses undertake specific professional functions and roles. The implementation of local therapy using innovative and scientifically substantiated methods may be hindered by a deficit of knowledge or inappropriate knowledge among staff and patients themselves. This study presents the challenges concerning the care of patients with chronic wounds treated using Lucilia sericata larvae, based on a review of the current scientific literature. A critical analysis of the literature spanning from 2002 to 2022 was conducted using the Medline, PubMed, Cochrane, and Termedia databases, employing keywords such as "maggot debridement therapy" in relation to acceptance and perception. As a result of the preliminary selection, 472 papers were identified, of which 12 publications were included in the development of this concept. The acquired data were organized and presented in the concluding section in the form of tables, accompanied by descriptions and references to individual studies. Negative psychological and somatic sensations were among the most prominent challenges among patients treated with Maggot Debridement Therapy (MDT). Pain related to peripheral ischemia or infection in this group of patients requires pain prophylaxis, including hyperalgesia and allodynia, in order to improve method tolerance. On the other hand, augmenting patients' understanding of MDT diminishes negative emotions, reinforces positive behaviors, and mitigates anxiety levels. MDT constitutes an effective and safe method. Its widespread use for chronic wounds requires substantial knowledge among healthcare professionals and patient education, along with that of their caregivers, to develop a positive attitude.
