To improve nurses' evidence-based PU care performance, nurses must recognize PU care's importance and take responsibility for improving their own performance. At the institutional level, systematic evidence-based guidelines and support systems, such as activating wound specialists, must be implemented. The academic society can support these initiatives by updating continuously the national guideline on PU prevention and management for ease of use by nurses or institutions.
