Objective To investigate the effectiveness of the implementation of a pressure ulcer prevention strategy based on evidence-based care in a long-term bedridden patient population. Methods 80 long-term bedridden patients admitted between January 2023 and December 2024 were divided into observation and control groups according to a randomized numerical sampling method, each containing 40 patients. The control group received routine nursing intervention, while the observation group implemented evidence-based nursing model. The incidence of pressure sore, Braden scale score and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results The total incidence of pressure ulcers in the observation group was 2.50%, which was lower than that in the control group (20.00%) (P < 0.05). The total score of Braden scale and each dimension score in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05).The results of nursing satisfaction survey showed that the observation group was better than the control group in service attitude, technical operation, health education and communication effect (P < 0.05). Conclusion Evidence-based nursing model can effectively reduce the incidence of bedsore, improve nutrient status, enhance cutaneous tolerance, and significantly improve the quality of service, which is worthy of clinical application.
