This study aimed to evaluate the risk of developing pressure injury in patients admitted to the oncology unit. This is a descriptive, analytical, cross-sectional study of a quantitative nature approved by the Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Alfenas under opinion nº 5.916.419. The population of interest was composed of patients in oncological treatment of both sexes, aged over 18 years and with hospitalization time greater than 24 hours. The data collection took place in the period from March to May 2023, in an oncology hospitalization unit. The instrument of sociodemographic and clinical characterization and Braden's scale were used. The Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) software was used for descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. 100 patients participated. The average Braden's score was 17.71 points, representing a low risk of developing pressure injury. The present study allowed to evaluate the risk of developing pressure injury in patients admitted to the oncology unit by means of the Braden scale, and for this sample, the risk was classified as low.
