- 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 methicillinresistant 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.
