(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2024-05-05) Jaquehua Baez, Sandra Maira; Montoro Valdivia, Marcos Antonio
People who spend prolonged periods in intensive care units are at a higher risk of developing pressure ulcers. These injuries arise due to continuous pressure, moisture, and friction as a result of immobility. These complications are more frequent in patients with mobility restrictions or those confined to a bed in the ICU. Objective: "To determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and practice regarding the prevention of pressure ulcers among nurses in the intensive care unit of a hospital in Tocache, 2024." Methodology: The study will use the hypothetical-deductive method with a quantitative and applied approach, adopting a non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational design. For data collection, two validated instruments will be used: a questionnaire and an observation guide. Additionally, Spearman's statistical formula will be applied to analyze the correlation between the studied variables. The results will be presented in statistical tables accompanied by their corresponding interpretation.
