Incidence of pressure ulcer, nurses' ability to prevent pressure ulcer, family/patient compliance and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results The incidence of pressure ulcers in the observation group was lower than that in the control group;prevention knowledge and clinical application ability of the nurses were higher than that in the control group;the family/compliance and nursing satisfaction were better than that in the control group, all with statistically significant (P<0.05).
