Abstract Objective To explore the preventive effect of risk warning nursing on pressure ulcer in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction ( AMI) . Methods 98 elderly AMI patients were selected and randomly divided into the pressure ulcer risk warning group and common group using a random number table method, with 49 cases in each group. The common group were received routine nursing intervention,while the pressure ulcer risk warning group were received pressure ulcer risk warning nursing interventionon the basis of the routine group. After intervention, the incidence of pressure ulcers, family members′mastery of pressure ulcer knowledge, mood status, self-efficacy, and quality of life were compared between two groups. Results During the intervention period, the total incidence of pressure ulcers in the pressureulcer risk warning group was 8.16%, which was lower than the 30.61% in the common group, showing a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . After intervention, the excellent rate of family members in the pressure ulcer risk warning group in mastering pressure ulcer knowledge was 93.88%, which was higher than 73.74% in the common group ( P < 0.05) . After intervention, the HAMD and HAMA scores in the pressure ulcer risk warning group were lower than those in the conventional group, while the GSES and SF-36 scores in the pressure ulcer risk warning group were higher than those in the common group ( P<0.05) .Conclusion The application of pressure ulcer risk warning nursing in elderly AMI pressure ulcer patients can reduce the incidence of pressure ulcers, improve the mastery of pressure ulcer knowledge by patient families, regulate the negative mood state of patients, improve their self-efficacy, and ultimately improve their quality of life.
