Methods: 455 patients (567 sites) with II-IV grade pressure ulcers were recruited in the study. The pressure ulcers were examined weekly, and the data collection tool was the PUSH. Results Significant differences were found before(8.37±3.14) and after (7.22±3.99) pressure ulcer treatment (P<0.01), except for IV stage pressure ulcer and non-hospital acquired ulcer (P>0.05). Conclusion:Pressure ulcer care overall effective in our hospital. Considering its easy availability, the PUSH can be used to track the healing progress of pressure ulcers.
