Abstract
Aim: to analyze the effectiveness of an educational intervention with intensive care nursing professionals on the knowledge of preventive measures for pressure injury. Method: quasi-experimental study (before-after), with 145 nursing professionals. The Knowledge Test on Pressure Injury and an educational intervention based on Ausubel's Theory of Meaningful Learning will be applied. The data will be analyzed by the Chi-Square, McNemar, Mann-Whitney and Binomial statistical tests, considering a significance level of 5% and a confidence level of 95%. Expected results: the educational intervention applied to nursing professionals in the context of intensive therapy on prevention of pressure injury will show significant changes in post-learning knowledge change.References
