Abstract
Pressure ulcers are injuries to the skin requiring integrated care, particularly when patients are at home. Pressure ulcers have been a nursing concern for years, and several strategies have been proposed for its prevention and management. Nursing theory, which is essential for nursing practice, recommends plausible approaches to health problems. However, literature describing steps to integrate nursing theory into pressure ulcer care has not yet been explored. For this reason, this article discusses the six steps on how to apply nursing theory in community practice. A case study is also discussed to help gain a better understanding of these steps.
