Abstract

A systematic revision which aimed to investigate and analyse publications related to the attitudes of nurses to alcohol, alcoholism and alcoholics, published between 1959 and 2009. A systematic search was carried out using the databases PUBMED, MEDLINE, LILACS and SciELO, using the search parameters attitudes, nurse, alcohol and alcoholism, resulting in a sample composed of 38 articles. The results indicated that there has been an increase in the number of articles since 1990, and qualitative analysis of the articles allowed it to be argued that in recent decades there has been greater acceptance of alcohol and its dependents, although there are still many nurses whose attitudes are predominantly negative or moralistic. It was concluded that the production of articles on the attitude of nurses to matters related to alcohol indexed in the databases available on-line is still small when compared to other subjects related to the theme, which may indicate a lack of interest among researchers in the question.
