Objective To analyze the preventive effect of pressure ulcer risk warning nursing on patients with hip fractures. Methods A total of 94 patients with hip fractures admitted to our hospital between June 2021 and June 2022 were randomly divided into a control group and a warning group. The warning group implements pressure ulcer risk warning nursing on the basis of routine nursing, including organization and management, risk assessment and grading nursing, care for low-risk and high-risk patients, psychological and health education, and specific nursing measures. The Results showed that the early warning group was superior to the conventional group in terms of the use of decompression devices, skin care, fracture site care, nutritional support, and turning behavior (P<0.05), and the frequency and severity of pressure ulcers were significantly lower than those in the conventional group (P<0.05). The difference is statistically significant. Conclusion The implementation of pressure ulcer risk warning nursing has a significant preventive effect on pressure ulcers in patients with hip fractures. This nursing model not only improves the awareness of pressure ulcer risks and the implementation of preventive measures among nursing staff, but also enhances the awareness of pressure ulcer prevention and care among patients and their families, which is worth promoting.
