Introdução: O risco de úlceras por pressão continua a ser um desafio permanente na vida dos profissionais de saúde, sendo os enfermeiros aqueles que mais intimamente estão ligados aos cuidados diretos aos utentes. Para evitar estas lesões é essencial investir na manutenção de uma atitude positiva perante a prevenção, dando especial destaque à importância do investimento na aquisição de conhecimentos através de formação constante.
Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo consiste em identificar os determinantes que influenciam as atitudes dos enfermeiros perante a prevenção das úlceras por pressão.
Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo observacional e descritivo correlacional. Os dados foram colhidos junto de 154 enfermeiros do Hospital Amato Lusitano sendo utilizado um questionário de caraterização sociodemográfica e profissional, o Instrumento de Avaliação de Conhecimentos acerca de Úlceras de Pressão e o Instrumento de Avaliação de Atitudes perante Úlceras de Pressão traduzidos e validados para a população portuguesa por Batista em 2012.
Resultados: A amostra é constituída maioritariamente por mulheres (77,9%) com idade média de 42,2 anos ±9,63. A média percentual dos conhecimentos dos enfermeiros inquiridos é de 53,6% e, das variáveis apresentadas, a idade (p=0,006), os anos de experiência (p=0,008) e a existência de colegas com formação no local de trabalho (p=0,041) influenciam o nível de conhecimentos. Em relação à atitude dos enfermeiros, a média percentual de atitude global obtida foi de 47,8%. As variáveis preditoras das atitudes foram a idade (p=0,011), as habilitações literárias (p=0,028), os anos de experiência (p=0,012) e formação prévia em úlceras por pressão (p=0,040).
Conclusões: A formação e aquisição de conhecimentos acerca de prevenção de úlceras por pressão por parte dos enfermeiros é identificada neste estudo como sendo essencial para manter uma atitude positiva sendo, entre os determinante identificados, o mais passível de ser modificado pelo que, face à prevalência atual deste tipo de lesão, o investimento das instituições em torná-la parte da rotina do exercício da profissão deve ser considerado imprescindível e emergente.
