Abstract

The coronary artery diseases are responsible for a large number of hospitalizations in Brazil and worldwide. The identification and reduction of risk factors that contribute to this pathology has been a major concern for public health, generating research interest. Considering the context of work of nursing staff, the purpose of this review is to identify riskfactors for coronary artery disease in nursing. We performed a search in the databases SciELO, LILACS, MEDLINE, the Virtual Health Library BDENF, portal thesis Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO) and the Virtual Library at the University of São Paulo (USP) finding a population of 70 scientific papers and three of these used because they are the ones who answered the research question. Through this literature review could conclude that the stress and sedentary lifestyle are important risk factors for coronary artery diseases, they affect about 50% of those involved in the first and only study the stress appears with a slightly lower rate (19%). Another thing to be mentioned is that only the first and third study addressing smoking as a risk factor. But we see that the three works are in unison to highlight the importance of preventive programs, promoting health through healthy habits. Because it isa serious problem, we suggest greater attention to the issue that other studies be made and a greater focus is given to prevention and health promotion.
