Advanced pressure ulcers are common in the elderly; about 70% happen in cases 65 years or older, peaking range from 70 and 80. Many pressure ulcers are considered preventable or even treatable with the proper procedures to preserve skin integrity.

The research employed a quasi-experimental design and was conducted in intensive care Units of the General Mansoura Hospital, Specialized Medical Hospital, and Emergency Hospital in Dakhalia governorate. The research surveyed 69 nurses. Two instruments were utilized in this research: the Braden Scale and a two-part structured interview schedule sheet. Results: Following the educational film, the nurse's practice and knowledge increased, plus there was an enhancement in wound healing of pressure ulcers for older adults. Conclusion: This study concluded that nurses' knowledge and attitude have improved after displaying the educational film program.
