Outline of Final Research Achievements	There are items in the scale of pressure ulcers that are difficult to assess and there is a possibility for differences to emerge in the assessment of the condition of pressure ulcers depending on the knowledge/experience of users. This affects the choice of the contents of nursing care. which is concerned with healing wounds, and she is continuing to analyze it as evidence that can be used to assess the condition of pressure ulcers. This time, an evaluation of pressure ulcers was carried out using anti-FN antibodies that were designed to specifically reflect the process of healing of pressure ulcers. The results clarified that FN is related to the healing of pressure ulcers, proved its potential as a marker to assess the treatment of pressure ulcers, and indicated its utility as evidence that clinical nurses can use to accurately assess the healing of pressure ulcers.
