Summary

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the effectiveness of the educational intervention through the evaluation of nurses' knowledge about prevention of pressure injury. Method: A quasi-experimental study with a single group, carried out with 95 nurses from a teaching hospital in the interior of Minas Gerais, in August and September 2017. As a teaching strategy, the active methodology and hybrid teaching were used, based on the reference of the Method of the Arch of Charles Maguerez. Data were collected from a validated instrument, called the Pieper Knowledge Test, and analyzed by descriptive statistics and Student's t-test with significance level of p <0.001. Results: The mean number of correct answers obtained by the nurses was 78.8% in the pre-test and 88.8% in the post-test, and the difference was statistically significant (p <0.001). Conclusion: The educational intervention developed was effective, since it contributed to the improvement of nurses' knowledge.
