Background: The 12-month prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders related to work (MDRW) in nurses rests between 71.8% to 84%, so it is urgent to develop preventive intervention programs with the purpose of avoiding negative physical, psychological, socioeconomic, and working aspects. There are several intervention programs aimed at preventing musculoskeletal disorders related to work for nurses, but few have successfully proven results. Despite the evidence pointing to the benefits of multidimensional intervention programs, it is essential to determine which interventions have positive effects on the prevention of this kind of disorder to create an effective intervention plan. Aim: This review intends to identify the different interventions adopted in the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders related to work in nurses and to compare the effectiveness of these interventions, providing the appropriate and scientific basis for building an intervention to prevent musculoskeletal disorders in nurses. Method: This Systematic Review was guided by the research question, “What are the effects of musculoskeletal disorders preventive interventions on nursing practice?” and carried out in different databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, SCOPUS, and Science Direct). Later, the results were submitted to the eligibility criteria, the appraisal quality of the papers, and the data synthesis was performed. Results: 13 articles were identified for analysis. The interventions implemented to control the risk were: training patient-handling devices; ergonomics education; involving the management chain; handling protocol/algorithms; acquiring ergonomics equipment; and no-manual lifting. Conclusions: The studies associated two or more interventions, the majority of which (11 studies) were training-handling devices and ergonomics education, therefore emerging as the most effective instruments in the prevention of MDRW. The studies did not associate interventions that cover all risk factors (individual, associated with the nature of the work, organizational, and psychological aspects). This systematic review can help with making recommendations for other studies that should associate organizational measures and prevention policies with physical exercise and other measures aimed at individual and psychosocial risk factors.

A disseminação mundial da produção científica na área da saúde tem sido um contributo para a prática baseada na evidencia. No entanto, levanta questões centrais à síntese da evidência existente e à utilização do método científico para o fazer, bem como, aos processos utilizados para transferir e implementar o conhecimento nos contextos de prática clínica, que facilitem a tomada de decisão. Temos como objetivo refletir sobre a síntese, transferência e implementação de evidência qualitativa para a melhoria das práticas, da decisão clínica e das políticas de saúde. Considerando a grande evolução da quantidade de estudos de qualitativos, abordaremos a elaboração dos metasumários e das metassínteses, como abordagens metodológica, para integrar, comparar e sintetizar os resultados de estudos individuais dentro de um corpo maior de evidências, com base em metodologias rigorosas, reprodutíveis e transparentes, para determinar o que é conhecido numa determinada área ou se existem lacunas de evidência que necessitam ser investigadas. Ao longo do capítulo, dividido em seis partes, será abordada a questão conceptual introdutória, seguida da síntese da evidencia qualitativa e da transferência e implementação da síntese qualitativa, apresentamos exemplos de casos práticos, permitindo em seguida partir para a aplicação da proposta na realidade ilustrado com casos práticos. Nas Considerações finais, salientamos que o aumento da evidência Qualitativa é desafio para o desenvolvimento de revisões sistemáticas de estudos qualitativos, para aumentar a consistência, a confiabilidade, o rigor e a segurança no uso dos achados que emergem destes estudos para uma prática baseada na evidência, que só é possível com o envolvimento de todos os atores (investigadores, académicos, profissionais e cidadãos).

The translation of knowledge into clinical practice and behavior change is a slow process that involves the involvement of all stakeholders in the process. Knowledge transfer (CT) is a complex process and encompasses more than the dissemination or communication of research results. Inherent in the pandemic context, our experience reveals some constraints on multidisciplinary and interinstitutional work, but the use of digital platforms can promote communication between academia and practice. Digital technologies pose several challenges to teachers, health professionals and researchers for an evidence-based practice (EBP) and allows us to infer that CT is influenced by the virtual world. We aim to reflect the role of teachers, researchers and clinicians in knowledge transfer in the virtual world, analyze challenges and debate strategies that ensure knowledge transfer. In this sense, we present in this chapter examples of practical cases, contributions and limitations for the use of the online method/technique, reflection of the digital experience. Teaching EBP in school curricula at various levels of education and involving students in projects can be a challenge to the learning process of critical thinking in clinical practice and to the use of online models and techniques, due to the ease of use of technological resources by generations younger. In the Final Considerations, we emphasize the need for a collaborative approach between researchers, clinicians and clients where each takes an active role. The new technologies applied to health and the demands of consumers, force the change of practices and models of organization of services, as well as the need for institutional partnerships.
