Abstract

Objective: to estimate the prevalence of colonization by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus among nursing professionals according to scientific evidence. Method: integrative literature review conducted in September 2020 through access to the LILACS, MEDLINE, CINAHL and Web of Science databases. Results: the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ranged from 0 to 30.4%, mean of 8.4%. In addition, surveys conducted more recently (2015: 15.7%; 2016: 9.2%; 2017: 15.9%) and in Asia (14.57%) estimated higher mean prevalence rates. Conclusion: the prevalence of colonization by methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus among nursing professionals found in the various national and international studies is still significant, which reinforces the need to adopt active surveillance programs as a strategy to detect asymptomatic cases and contribute to break the chain of transmission of infections.
