Objective: to know the actions performed at home for the prevention of pressure injuries in the Family Health Strategy. Method: descriptive and qualitative research directed at the population at risk for the development of pressure injury (PI) in the city of Crato, Ceará, Brazil. Data collection was performed through the Braden scale and semi-structured interview, from March to May 2018. The ethical aspects involved in the research were respected. Results: the results obtained were divided into two categories: 1-analysis of the risk of developing PI from the Braden scale; 2-perception of home patients and caregivers about actions for the prevention of PI in the Family Health Strategy. From this, two subcategories emerged: a) perception of home patients and caregivers about PI; b) prevention measures for PI performed by patients and caregivers. Conclusion: the research participants have knowledge about PI based on daily experiences, effectively developing actions for injury prevention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
