The study presents an integrative literature review of an exploratory-descriptive nature. Eleven articles related to the subject of the study were selected. For better understanding, the discussion was divided into categories and subcategories and presented as follows: Integumentary System and Pressure Injury, Factors predisposing to PL, Pronation Position, Nurse's Responsibilities in patients submitted to pronation, The importance of the Nurse's knowledge regarding prevention of pressure injury during the pronation technique, Care plan and nursing interventions in patient management under the pronation technique. Some nursing care is prescribed through care planning, such as: promoting small changes in position and evaluating skin conditions; regularly monitor the tension of invasive device fixtures; keep the skin free of moisture; perform control records of the ventilatory response parameters of the safe pronation technique.
