Background: Alteration from health on severe basis leads to hospitalization, which will be painful and traumatic. Sometimes the treatment will heal the disease but the complication arises from the hospitalization leads to severe trauma. Commonly seen among bedridden patients are pressure sore where the bony prominences which leads for necrosis. Methods: A True Experimental Pre-test Post Test control group research design, was used for present study60 hospitalized patients who are bedridden were selected by purposive sampling method and divided into two groups. Experimental group (n=30) received water glove application in experimental and Control group (n=30) were on a routine treatment. The data was analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Findings of the study revealed that the mean and SD post test score of Braden pressure ulcer risk assessment score in experimental group was 18.9± 1.863441, and in the control group the post-test mean score and SD was 10.86± and 1.382984, with the Independent ‘t’ value of t=18.9 .and the mean difference is 8.04 .so it is considered as significant. The independent T test calculated value (18.9) is more than the independent t test tabulated value (1.699). Hence the study revealed that the water glove application is effective. Conclusion: The study concludes that there was significant difference found between the two groups, therefore study showed that that water glove application was found to reduce the heel ulcer among bed ridden patients.
