Methods: A total of 240 bedridden elderly patients from February 2021 to January 2023 were recruited and divided into two groups using the random number table method. The control group (n = 120) received conventional nursing care, and the observation group (n = 120) received personalized nursing care. Patients’ quality of life, the incidence rate of pressure sores, and patient satisfaction with nursing care were observed and analyzed. Results: The incidence of pressure ulcers in the observation group was significantly lower at 17.50% compared to 30.00% in the control group (P &amp;lt; 0.05). Quality of life in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P &amp;lt; 0.05). The satisfaction rate in the observation group was significantly higher at 93.33% compared to 84.17% in the control group (P &amp;lt; 0.05). Conclusion: These findings emphasize that only through the implementation of scientific and rational nursing measures can effectively reduce nursing risks, enhance therapeutic outcomes, and improve the quality of life for elderly patients.</abstract><keywords/></article-meta></front><body/><back><ref-list><ref id="B1" content-type="article"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><p>Zhang L, 2022, Analysis of Nursing Safety Hidden Dangers and Nursing Countermeasures for Elderly Inpatients in Endocrinology Department.
