Abstract
Objective: To analyze the scientific production on nursing care with a view to preventing pressure injury in hospitalized patients. Method: An integrative revision of literature was conducted from the database: LILACS, MEDLINE and SCIELO, through the search for scientific production of the period from 2010 to 2017. 200 indexed publications were found in the database of the aforementioned sources. These articles were separated from those who actually attended the inclusion criteria: articles in the integra that treat nursing assistance in preventing and treating pressure lesions in hospitalized patients, in languages, Portuguese and English. The exclusion criteria have been articles covering other subjects of the pressure lesion, as well as articles that are prior to 2010. As refining the selection only 11 were included in the survey. Results: Evidenced the importance of standardising the notifications and qualifying the nursing staff to act more effectively in the intervention of the thematic discussed. Conclusion: The data showed that the prevention and treatment of pressure lesions is directly linked to nursing care.
