There was a significant statistical difference between the study and the control group related to the occurrence of hospital acquired pressure injury post intervention with (p<0.001). Conclusion: a nurse driven skin care bundle had a positive significant effect on preventing hospital acquired pressure injury among immobilized patients with orthopedic disorders.
