Resumen

Introducción: La Mpox (infección por el virus de la viruela del simio) es una enfermedad infecciosa emergente que, tras el brote de 2022, se convirtió en un desafío global de salud pública. Los enfermeros tienen un papel clave en la prevención y el manejo; sin embargo, la preparación de los estudiantes de enfermería sigue poco explorada.

Objetivo: Mapear la evidencia sobre el conocimiento, la educación, la comprensión y la conciencia de los estudiantes de enfermería respecto a la Mpox.

Métodos: Revisión de alcance realizada en septiembre de 2025, siguiendo las recomendaciones del Joanna Briggs Institute. La búsqueda incluyó bases de datos internacionales y literatura en portugués, inglés y español.

Resultados: Se incluyeron ocho estudios publicados entre 2023 y 2025. Los niveles de conocimiento fueron variables y insuficientes. La comprensión fue limitada y la concienciación inestable, a menudo condicionada por factores externos. Las intervenciones educativas, presenciales y digitales, demostraron mejoras consistentes en conocimiento, actitudes y preparación.

Conclusión: La integración curricular de metodologías activas y de alfabetización digital en salud es fundamental para consolidar el conocimiento y preparar a los futuros enfermeros para responder eficazmente a brotes de enfermedades infecciosas emergentes.
