Objective: To evaluate and integrate the best evidences on the prevention and management of Heel Pressure Injuries. Methods: We searched the BMJ Best Practice (British Medical Journal Best Practice), Cochrane Library, Joanna Briggs Institute Library, Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO), National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC), Guidelines International Network (GIN), and PubMed, Embase, CNKI, WanFang Data, CBM as well as the Pan Pacific Pressure Injury Alliance (PPPIA), European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP), National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP), Wound Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society (WOCN) as a supplement to collect literatures including guidelines, evidence summaries, recommended practice, systematic reviews and expert consensus on the prevention and management of Heel Pressure Injuries. The JBI evidence appraisal and recommendation system was used to evaluate the quality of studies and the level of evidences. Results: A total of 12 papers were brought into this study, including 1 guideline, 6 evidence summaries, 3 systematic reviews, 1 consensus and 1 practice recommendation. Finally 23 pieces of best evidences were summarized, covering such 6 aspects as risk assessment, diagnostic assessment, "floating" heel (pressure redistribution), heel protection (dressing, protective device), treatment, and establishment of an interdisciplinary team. Conclusion: Medical staff should choose the best evidences to carry out clinical prevention and management of heel pressure injuries according to the individual situation of patients, in order to improve the standardization and effectiveness of the heel pressure injuries management.
