[en] Introduction: The epidemiological data you act on pressure ulcers in different countries around us indicate that we are facing a serious health problem that has a negative effect on the health system. Over two years, prevalence taxa were not significantly reduced, despite having evidence and resources to avoid it. For all these reasons, it seems necessary to choose the views of the nursing staff, which play an important role in the care and prevention of these ulcers, and to analyze the information provided by this group, mainly in relation to possible difficulties and limitations for the application of prevention measures. Objective: Identify and evaluate the negative attitudes and barriers that nurse's encounter when it comes to preventing pressure ulcers (UPP) in hospitalized patients. Methodology: For this research project, an observational, cross-sectional and descriptive study will be carried out. The information will be obtained through the validated questionnaires PIPK (Pressure Injury Prevention Knowledge), APuP (Attitude towards the prevention of pressure ulcers) and BPIUPP (Barriers for the prevention and intervention of pressure ulcers). The sample will be selected for convenience among the nursing staff (nurses and auxiliaries) assigned to the Ferrol University Hospital Complex (CHUF). Applicability: It is intended to know the attitudes and barriers from which it starts; with this, relevant and crucial information will be obtained so that a change in health strategies and care procedures is carried out, influencing all the deficiencies that arise.

[gl] Introdución: Os datos epidemiolóxicos actuais sobre as úlceras por presión nos diferentes países que nos rodean indican que estamos ante un grave problema de saúde que ten un efecto negativo sobre o sistema sanitario. Co paso dos anos, as taxas de prevalencia non se reduciron significativamente, a pesar de contar con evidencias e recursos para evitalo. Por todos estes motivos, parece necesario escoitar as opinións do persoal de enfermaría, que desempeñan un papel importante na atención e prevención destas úlceras, e analizar a información proporcionada por este grupo, principalmente en relación a posibles dificultades e limitacións para a aplicación. de medidas de prevención. Obxectivo: Identificar e avaliar as actitudes e barreiras negativas que atopan os enfermeiros á hora de previr as úlceras por presión (UPP) en pacientes hospitalizados. Metodoloxía:. Neste proxecto de investigación realizarase un estudo observacional transversal e descritivo. A información obterase a través dos cuestionarios validados PIPK (Coñecemento na prevención das úlceras por presión), APuP (Actitude cara á prevención das úlceras por presión) e BPIUPP (Cuestionario de barreiras para a prevención e intervención das úlceras por presión). A mostra seleccionarase para comodidade entre o persoal de enfermaría (enfermeiras e auxiliares) asignado ao Complexo Hospitalario Universitario de Ferrol (CHUF). Aplicabilidade: Preténdese coñecer as actitudes e barreiras a partir das cales se inicia; Con isto obterase información relevante e crucial para que se realice un cambio nas estratexias e nos procedementos asistenciais para a saúde, influíndo en todas as deficiencias que xurdan.
