Abstract
Objectives: to analyze and compare the level of knowledge about pressure ulcer prevention among nurses and nursing technicians who work in Intensive Care Units and nursing students in the last year of the course.
Method: a cross-sectional, descriptive-exploratory study with a quantitative approach, using the Pieper’s Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science, using descriptive and inferential statistics (ANOVA-One Way, Shapiro-Wilk normality test and assumption of homogeneity using Levene’s test).
Results: the research sample included 70 participants, being 22 nurses, 14 nursing technicians and 34 undergraduate nursing students. It was observed that only 22.7% of nurses, 7.1% of technicians and 0.0% of students reached the percentage of correct answers ≥ 90% recommended by the knowledge test.
Conclusion and implications for practice: the results found in this study made it possible to identify an insufficient level of knowledge and a mistaken perception of aptitude, related to the pressure ulcer prevention, among the study participants, with emphasis on technicians and undergraduates in nursing. Therefore, this research points to the need for educational actions aimed at training the aforementioned public.

Resumo
Objetivos: analisar e comparar o nível de conhecimento sobre prevenção de lesão por pressão entre enfermeiros e técnicos de enfermagem que atuam em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva e graduandos em enfermagem no último ano do curso.
Método: estudo transversal, de caráter descritivo-exploratório e de abordagem quantitativa, utilizando o Pieper’s Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test. Os dados foram analisados através do Statistical Package for Social Science, mediante estatística descritiva e inferencial (ANOVA-One Way, teste de normalidade de Shapiro-Wilk e pressuposto de homogeneidade através do teste de Levene).
Resultados: a amostra da pesquisa abarcou 70 participantes, sendo 22 enfermeiros, 14 técnicos de enfermagem e 34 graduandos em enfermagem. Foi visto que apenas 22,7% dos enfermeiros, 7,1% dos técnicos e 0,0% dos graduandos em enfermagem atingiram o percentual de acertos ≥ 90% recomendado pelo teste de conhecimento.
Conclusão e implicações para a prática: os resultados encontrados neste estudo permitiram identificar um nível insuficiente de conhecimento e uma percepção de aptidão equivocada, relacionados à prevenção de lesão por pressão, entre os participantes do estudo, com ênfase para os técnicos e para os graduandos em enfermagem. Logo, esta pesquisa aponta para a necessidade de ações educativas que visem a capacitação do público supramencionado.
