Pressure Ulcers (PUs) are localized skin damages that occur when soft tissue is compressed between a bony prominence structure and external forces for an extended period of time. It can occur because of shear and friction. Critically ill children admitted in PICU are at risk for pressure ulcers due to immature skin, decreased perfusion, decreased mobility, altered neurologic responsiveness, volume overload, moisture, and medical devices. Aims: was to evaluate the effect of skin care bundle on improving nurses′ practice and child's outcomes. Subjects & methods: Research design: A quasi experimental design was used.
