The purpose of this case study was to determine the effectiveness of olive oil administration at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makassar Teaching Hospital. The method used in this study was a case study approach, collecting data through observation, interviews, physical evaluation, and documentation, on one patient as a sample. The data analysis results showed that olive oil administration for 3 days indicated a decrease in the risk of pressure ulcers. This intervention was given once a day by applying olive oil to the patient's back, and the monitoring results before and after the intervention showed decubitus scores on day 1 (13-13), day 2 (13-11), and day 3 (11-11). There was a decrease in the decubitus scores, although not significant, as the patient was in a sedated condition with a total dependence level. The conclusion of this case study is that olive oil can prevent the occurrence of pressure ulcers with a decrease in decubitus scores over 3 days. The recommendation from the research results is that olive oil intervention can be a patented non-pharmacological therapy for long-term patient care with minimal impact, easy accessibility, and economical.]]>
