Alcoholism, one of the most frequent diseases in the world, has been transformed in a serious social problem and in Brazil, it has triplicated in the last decades. As nurses, we understand that alcoholics are sick people that need help and that communication is a fundamental method to achieve nursing's intervention goals. Aiming at giving an adequate nursing care it is necessary to know the reasons why nurses have some adverse attitudes related to alcoholics. This inquietude led us to investigate the restraints that interfere in nurse-alcoholics communication, presented in national and international nursing literature reviewed through MEDLINE and CEPEn catalogue. We observed that the alcoholics' stereotype exists and remains constant through the time; the stereotype belief held by health professionals determines the quality of care the patient receives as well as the focus of research and attitudes presented about alcohol and alcoholics. Therefore, the belief would be presenting a negative influence and keeping back the communication between nurse and the alcoholic.
酒精中毒是世界上最常见的疾病之一，已演变成一个严重的社会问题，在巴西，其发病率在过去几十年里增长了两倍。作为护士，我们明白酗酒者是需要帮助的病人，而沟通是实现护理干预目标的基本方法。为了提供充分的护理，有必要了解护士对酗酒者持有一些负面态度的原因。这种担忧促使我们去调查那些干扰护士与酗酒者沟通的限制因素，这些因素在通过MEDLINE和CEPEn目录检索的国内外护理文献中有所呈现。我们观察到，酗酒者的刻板印象一直存在且始终不变；卫生专业人员持有的刻板印象观念决定了患者所接受护理的质量，以及有关酒精和酗酒者的研究重点和态度。因此，这种观念会产生负面影响并阻碍护士与酗酒者之间的沟通。
