Decubitus ulcer is described as localized injury of the skin as well as underlying soft tissue 
particularly on the bony parts. It is an important issue for professional care that affects pediatric 
critical care units frequently. Implementation of quality of nursing care intervention for health 
care professional is considered one of the key elements in preventing decubitus ulcers. The 
current study aimed to evaluate the effect of implementing quality of nursing care intervention 
on nurses' performance regarding prevention of decubitus ulcer at pediatric intensive care unit.
Research design: A quasi experimental research design was used. The subjects: A convenience 
sampling of twenty-six nurses from Tanta Main University Hospital and twenty-four nurses from 
Tanta University Educational Hospital. Three Tools were used: Structured interviewing 
schedule, Decubitus ulcer risk assessment using the Braden Q Risk Assessment Scale and 
Decubitus ulcer prevention observational checklist. Results: there was a statistical significant 
difference regarding nurses' practice between before and after quality of nursing care 
intervention implementation. Conclusion: performance of the nurses has significantly improved 
after the implementation of quality of nursing care intervention in relation to prevention of 
decubitus ulcer at pediatric intensive care unit. Recommendations: Pediatric nurses should be 
stay current about knowledge and practice regarding measures of prevention of decubitus ulcer 
through workshops, training which provide the nurses with a power to utilize preventive 
measures of decubitus ulcer in workplaces.
