Abstract：Objective:To explore the application effect of tracking methodology in the management of patients with pressure ulcer.Meth-ods:229 patients with pressure sore (reported from Jan.to Dec.2013)in the department of internal medicine were taken as the control group;other 234 patients (reported from Jan.to Dec.2014)in the department of internal medicine were taken as the observation group. The routine nursing management of pressure sore was implemented in the control group and the tracking methodology in the management of patients with pressure sore was adopted in the observation group.The incidence and treatment of pressure sore,acquired and inevitable pressure sore were compared between the two groups before and after implementation of the management.Results:The incidence of ac-quired pressure sore in hospital was lower in the observation group than that in the control group (P <0.05);the cure rate was higher in the observation group than the control group (P <0.05).Conclusion:Application of tracking methodology can improve the ability of clini-cal nurses in the management of patients with high risk of pressure ulcer and it is one of the effective methods in the prevention and control of pressure ulcer.
