As úlceras por pressão são consideradas um importante e considerável problema nos serviços de saúde devido aos custos dessas provenientes, como também pela alta incidência e prevalência, de modo a acarretar consequências irreversíveis em longo prazo, tais como: déficit circulatório, má cicatrização e má perfusão periférica, amputações, entre outras. Sendo assim, este estudo objetivou analisar a prevalência de úlceras por pressão em pacientes internados em um Centro de Terapia Intensiva de um Hospital de Minas Gerais. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, exploratório, retrospectivo, documental, com abordagem quantitativa, realizado com 151 prontuários de pacientes internados em um Centro de Terapia Intensiva de um hospital durante julho a agosto de 2012. O tratamento dos dados ocorreu por meio de epidemiologia descritiva simples não paramétrica e não probabilística. Observou-se que 51 (33,7%) destes pacientes desenvolveram úlceras por pressão, com prevalência do sexo feminino, idade superior a 60 anos e tempo de permanência hospitalar inferior a 10 dias. O mês de agosto apresentou maior quantitativo de internações e de pacientes com úlceras (48,3%), sendo as mulheres as que desenvolveram mais úlceras do que os homens. As condições ou doenças de base mais prevalentes foram: pós-operatório neurológico (25,8%), pós-operatório ortopédico (11,9%) e a pneumonia (7,2%). Portanto, houve um aumento considerável destas úlceras em pacientes de um Centro de Terapia Intensiva, com prevalência em idosos com tempo de internação menor que 10 dias, quando comparados aos demais pacientes internados, de modo a contribuir para o aumento dos fatores de risco e se tornando indispensável a execução rigorosa do plano de cuidados para cada paciente dentro do setor.

AbstractPressure ulcers are considered an important and considerable problem in health services due to their costs, as well as their high incidence and prevalence, leading to irreversible long-term consequences such as circulatory deficit, poor healing and poor peripheral perfusion, amputations, among others. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the prevalence of pressure ulcers in patients admitted to an intensive care center of a Hospital in Minas Gerais. This is a descriptive, exploratory, retrospective, documentary study with a quantitative approach, conducted with 151 medical records of patients admitted to an intensive care center of a hospital from July to August 2012. Data were treated through simple nonparametric and non-probabilistic descriptive epidemiology. It was observed that 51 (33.7%) of these patients developed pressure ulcers, with female prevalence, age over 60 years and hospital stay less than 10 days. The month of August presented the highest number of hospitalizations and patients with ulcers (48.3%), being women the ones who developed more ulcers than men. The most prevalent underlying conditions or diseases were: neurological postoperative (25.8%), orthopedic postoperative (11.9%) and pneumonia (7.2%). Therefore, there was a considerable increase of these ulcers in patients of an intensive care center, with prevalence in the elderly with hospitalization time fewer than 10 days, when compared to other hospitalized patients, in way that it contributes to the risk factors and, thus, becoming indispensable for the rigorous execution of the care plan for each patient in the sector.

Objective: To analyze work-related injuries in nursing staff. Method: Integrative review in which the sample was obtained by articles of national and international journals that were available on the SciELO and LILACS databases, between 2007-2011. Results: We found 212 publications, of which 18 were selected after applying the inclusion criteria. A large number of publications were found in SciELO (61%) and there was equality in the number of publications in the years 2007-2009 and 2011 (22,2%). After examination, it was noticed that the nursing staff is very struck by accidents, and that the sharps are the main villains in this sense, and biological material is also very present. Conclusion: It is concluded that not only the workers should have care knowledge in their workplace, but also the health institutions have to meet their obligations in order to protect the workers.
