Treating severe pressure ulcers may consume considerable manpower, time, and medical resources. Pressure ulcers can be avoided and effectively treated when nurses conduct proper skin assessment and care for wounds appropriately. Research hypothesis: There was positive impact of bundle skincare training on nurses' performance and orthopedic patients' skin outcome. quasi-experimental design was utilized at orthopedic units at Shebin El Koum teaching Hospital and Menofia University Hospital. Tools used for data collection were Pre-designed Questionnaire contained on nurses' characteristics, Attitude Rating Scale and Nurses' knowledge, also used Observational Checklist and BRADEN scale. The subject composed of 45 nurses and 90 orthopedic patients. Mean score of total knowledge pre-intervention was 6.83±3.1, while at the post was 9.95±2.1. Also, a mean score of total practice pre-intervention was 7.11±2.6, while at the post was 11.83±3.4, and, a mean score of total attitude pre-intervention was 5.02±2.8, while at the post was 7.82±1.9. Mean score of BRADEN scale at pre-intervention was 12.81±3.04, while at the post was 13.45±1.99. Application bundle skin care had a positive effect on nurses' knowledge, practice and attitude related skincare for orthopedic patients. So, there was an improvement at BRADEN score of patients post-application bundle skincare. Age, gender and previous hospitalization, BMI, and length had positive predictor effect on pressure sore risk. Skincare bundle for orthopedic patients is acceptable and has the potential to improve nursing care.
