Nursing staff's pressure ulcer (PU) prevention knowledge in long-term older people care (LOPC) varies. In particular, more evidence is needed to improve the knowledge of nursing staff with a lower level of education with context-tailored interventions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of intervention on nursing staff's PU prevention knowledge. The intervention, a consistent PU prevention practice for nursing staff based on international guidelines, was developed and implemented using the OMEBP model. The data were collected in two LOPC facilities from 253 registered and practical nurses using the Pressure Ulcer Prevention Knowledge test. In the intervention facility, knowledge improved in three PU prevention areas and in the total sum. Context-tailored PU prevention practice interventions focusing on nursing staff in LOPC facilities should be developed and these aspects should also be included in lower-level nursing staff's education.
