It occurs as a result of intense or prolonged pressure in combination with shear. The development of pressure injury characterizes a health problem that involves several factors, both related to the patient and the external environment, the hospital physical structure, resources, inputs, the professionals and the conduct of the multiprofessional team towards the patient. The knowledge and understanding of the definition, causes and risk factors on the part of health professionals is of paramount importance, aiming to implement prevention measures and effective treatment. General Objective: To know the nursing care performed for the prevention and treatment of pressure injury in the elderly in an intensive care unit. Methodology: This study follows a qualitative approach under the integrative literature review method, based on (MENDES et al., 2008). The development of the review involved six steps: identification of the theme and preparation of the question; establishment of inclusion criteria; definition of the information to be extracted from the studies/categorization; evaluation of the studies included in the review; interpretation of results and; presentation of the review/summary of knowledge. The information extracted from the studies was inserted in a data analysis matrix, in Word, composed by: Title of the article, Referential, Descriptors and Keywords, Research type, Objectives, Results and Conclusions. Results: The searches were performed in the electronic portal BVS. With the exclusion of duplicate articles, which were counted once, 26 studies remained for the reading of titles and abstracts, respecting the objective of the research. Thus, 16 articles were chosen for reading in full because they present a relationship with the theme. From the law reading in full, 08 articles were selected to compose the corpus of the study, as they were in accordance with the criteria and inclusion and exclusion. Final Considerations: The accomplishment of this study was of enormous value for the personal and professional growth, once it amplified the looks in front of the thematic. And, from the review, one can understand how the nurse professional, together with his team, becomes indispensable in the context of care. It is believed that the results can contribute to reflections on the performance of the nursing team in the care of the critically ill elderly, using the nursing process as the main tool for individualized care.pt-BREnfermagemLesão por pressãoCuidados intensivosIdosoTrabalho de Conclusão de Curso
