Implication

Quasi-experimental study demonstrates reduced pressure ulcers and improved knowledge in hospitalized elderly patients, highlighting the value of structured prevention programs.

Key Points

Acquired pressure ulcers showed lower risk and reduced severity following a nursing intervention program, while control group conditions steadily worsened.
Quasi-experimental assessment yielded P=0.001 for fewer developed pressure ulcers and enhanced knowledge across 84 hospitalized elderly patients.
Highlights the value of structured nursing care, yet prolonged hospital stay alongside diabetes and stroke remains a persistent risk factor for skin breakdown.
