Objectives: identify the incidence and characterize pressure injuries in an adult intensive care unit regarding the occurrence, locations and risk factors, and verify whether there is an association between these and the appearance of the injuries. Method: observational, cohort, prospective study, developed in an intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital, from October to December 2019. The population consists of adults on the first day of admission to the unit, without pressure injury at admission. Participants were monitored during hospitalization, sociodemographic and clinical variables, and risk assessment of developing a pressure injury, skin assessment and Braden scale were collected daily. Pearson’s chi-square tests and student’s t-test were used to assessing the relationship between variables and injuries. For the analyzes, a significance level (α) of 5% was considered. Results: 40 participants were included, 20% had pressure injuries with a predominance of stages 1 and 2; the main affected sites were the sacral region followed by the calcaneus. The average hospital stay was 23.38 days for the injured group and 5.77 days for the non-injured group; time showed a significant relationship with the appearance of lesions (p = 0.002). Conclusion: it was concluded that the most affected site was the sacral region and grade 1 was the most frequent staging; length of stay was the variable that influenced the appearance of injuries.

It is a descriptive study with quantitative approach that analyzed 151 medical records of patients admitted to an ICU, from September 2014 to February 2015, whose 48 hour and discharge notes were evaluated. Data revealed notes with poor content, which did not express the patients’ situation, nor the nursing care provided. Data concerning date, time, and patient identification were adequate. However, the COREN number and the professional’s signature raised concern given the high percentage of non-compliance regarding ethical and legal aspects. Nursing notes did not reflect the severity of patients, nor the dynamics in the ICUDescriptors: Adolescent, Nursing, HospitalizationADOLESCENTE EN PERSPECTIVA DE LOS PROFESIONALES DE ENFERMERÍAComprender la óptico del profesional de enfermería de hospitalización de los adolescentes.
