title: Teaching students about pressure sores.
abstract: The author reviews work she completed in 1985 which looked at the provision of education on pressure sores at basic and post-basic level in colleges of nursing, and concludes that although awareness of relevant issues has been raised in the interim, there is evidence that the methods used to teach skin care to students is inappropriate. A strategy for education on pressure sores is introduced, based on the essential tenets of the nursing process.
