abstract={Pressure Injury (PI) is a major health problem which imposes a considerable social and economic burden nationally and globally. <b>Aim of the study</b> was to investigate the effect of PI care program on nurse's performance and<b> </b>patients' pressure injury wound healing outcomes. <b>Study design</b> was a quasi-experimental control group using pre-post and follow up design. <b>Sample</b> of thirty nurses and fifty patients were allocated in the current study in two medical units at one of the general hospitals in Ismailia City. <b>Tools:</b> Six tools included nurses' demographic data sheet, pressure injury knowledge questionnaire, and pressure injury care observational checklist, patients' demographic and medical profile data sheet, The Braden Scale, and patients¡¯ pressure injury wound healing outcomes were used to collect data. <b>Results</b>: The study revealed that nurses' knowledge and practices, were significantly improved towards PI care post program implementation when compared to preprogram. Moreover, there was a significant improvement in PI wound healing among patients cared with nurses after receiving the educational program compared with patients who received care before the program. <b>Conclusion</b>: The PI educational program could improve nurses' performance as well as PI wound healing among cared patients. <b>Recommendation</b>: Endorse the educational program for pressure injury care in the nurses' orientation program plus continuous in-service education.},
