Abstract

Descriptive and exploratory study aimed to describe the patterns of alcohol use among nurses and its effects on healthcare. The study was conducted in October 2015, with the search of five electronic databases. After implementation of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the final sample consisted of six publications. The selected publications showed that alcohol use by nursing professionals is a matter of concern, since there is a prevalence of nursing professionals with less or more severe problems related to alcohol use. Night work, long working hours and excessive weekly workloads were positively correlated to alcohol use. In addition, stress, depression, anxiety and dissatisfaction with work were reported as risk factors for excessive drinking in the studies.
