Pressure ulcer (PU) is a lesion of ischemic origin, located in the skin and underlying tissues with loss of skin substance caused by prolonged pressure or friction between two hard planes. The PU represents a health problem that affects older adults. Due to its etiology, it can be prevented through specific care. The objective is "To determine the relationship between the knowledge and practice of the nursing professional in the prevention of pressure ulcers in elderly patients in the geriatric service of the Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen Lima National Hospital - 2022". The type of study is Descriptive, non-experimental observational and correlational descriptive. The sample is made up of 25 nursing professionals from the geriatric hospitalization service. A survey was applied through a questionnaire for both variables. Validated and reliable instruments were used. The data will be registered, classified, tabulated and codified as appropriate through the use of Excel 2013 computer systems and analyzed through SPSS 25, where tables, charts, graphs will be obtained. Likewise, the relationship between the variables and the hypothesis test will be carried out with the Spearman's Rho test, being a non-parametric analysis, which will serve to verify the hypotheses raised, and will later be analyzed and interpreted.
