Abstract
The aim of this study is to understand the role of nursing in the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries. It is known that pressure injuries are not a specific category of injury, but can refer to damage that occurs due to problems related to blood pressure, such as hypertension. Thus, the following problem stands out: What is the role of the nursing team in the treatment of pressure injuries? Based on this question, it can be seen that nursing care for patients is essential to ensure their survival and prevent complications. Nursing care protocols can vary depending on the severity and extent of the treatment, as well as the individual needs of each patient. This is an exploratory and descriptive integrative review study. Data was collected by searching for original scientific articles in the Virtual Health Library, PubMed, Scopus and Scientific Electronic Library Online databases. Content analysis and thematic categorization were used to evaluate and present the data. It should be noted that there is a shortage of international and national studies; many are descriptive and few make effective contributions. Therefore, it is necessary to include reflections on health care in the face of physical-emotional weaknesses, contextualized in their disparities and social injustices.
