Item Cuidados de enfermería en pacientes con viruela símica. Revisión de alcance(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2023) Reyes Palacios, Alejandra; Rico Jiménez, Javier Alfonso; Sinisterra Rivera, Maicol; Ospina Uribe, Martha Cecilia (Directora)Introduction: Simian smallpox is one of the most prevalent zoonotic diseases in humans after the eradication of smallpox, this is characterized by the presence of skin lesions, resembling pimples or blisters, febrile states, swollen lymph nodes and joint and muscle pain. Regarding its transmission, it is determined by the bite or direct contact with blood, meat, body fluids or cutaneous/mucosal lesions of an infected animal or person. Objective: To describe the main nursing care in patients with monkeypox according to the available literature. Methodology: A scoping review was performed using the PRISMA method. Results: 8 scientific articles were reviewed, which allowed determining that among the main nursing care in patients with monkeypox are those related to patient isolation and control of the spread of infection; monitoring of vital signs, protection of skin and compromised mucous membranes; patient hydration and nutritional support; prevention of stigma and discrimination; and prevention of Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI). Conclusion: The findings of this review allow us to conclude that nursing care of patients with monkeypox should include a variety of processes oriented to comprehensive and humanized patient care, ranging from patient isolation to the prevention of HCAI, which allows us to demonstrate that all nursing care, focused on disease control and patient recovery, serves as a fundamental support for the approach to monkeypox.
