This qualitative study explored attitudes and experiences of 16 senior undergraduate nursing students regarding pressure ulcer prevention (PUP) using semi-structured interviews. Six themes emerged, highlighting gaps in PUP education and the need for evidence-based, hands-on learning strategies. Findings suggest nursing curricula should integrate immersive clinical experiences and collaboration with wound care specialists to improve PUP knowledge and patient outcomes.}, url = {http://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2749}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/M4Z60MRW}, }
