| Popis: | Exploratory study aimed to identify activities of prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers planned and implemented by nurses in the Intensive Care Unit; the importance ascribed to the interventions; and the difficulties to carry out those interventions. The study took place in the Intensive Care Unit of a University Hospital, with participation of nine nurses. The data, collected by means of interviews, were analyzed in the light of the discourse of the collective subject technique. Data revealed that changes in position stand out as a prevention measure and dressings are the main care in the treatment of pressure ulcer. The difficulties reported by nurses indicate limitations in human resources regarding number, training, and lack of involvement of the team; and in material resources to promote comfort and safety to the patient. |
