description OBJECTIVE: The main objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of pressure ulcer and its risk factors among adult hospitalized patients at Dessie Referral Hospital, Northeast Ethiopia, 2016 G.C RESULT: A cross-sectional institutional based study with a single population proportion formula was used to determine the sample size. The total sample size of 355 patients was distributed proportionally to the respected wards. Every other patient was selected by systematic random sampling technique from each ward with a response rate of 100% A total of 53 patients with pressure ulcer were detected giving the prevalence rate of 14.9%. The lack of regular positioning and activity, friction/shear, and prolonged hospitalization were risk factors for pressure ulcer.
