Abstract

Background: pressure injuries are a multifactorial complication that significantly affects patients' quality of life and increases healthcare costs. Due to the complexity of the issue, a systematized approach based on structured theoretical models is necessary for their effective prevention. Objective: to analyze the development of pressure injuries in intensive care units in light of the Nursing Role Effectiveness Model, highlighting the importance of nurses' roles in their prevention. Methodology: a narrative theoretical essay documenting a reflective process of applying the Nursing Role Effectiveness Model as a theoretical framework to analyze the role of nurses in preventing pressure injuries in intensive care units. Results: the application of a nursing conceptual model allows for understanding and explaining the relationships between the multiple variables involved in the development of pressure injuries. Conclusion: the use of the Nursing Role Effectiveness Model can enable a systematized approach to understanding pressure injuries in intensive care units, highlighting the importance of nurses' independent, interdependent, and dependent roles, as well as the variables that influence nursing-sensitive outcomes.
