Introducción: El síndrome del túnel carpiano compromete la sensibilidad y la fuerza de la mano y puede asociarse a tareas repetitivas y posturas sostenidas en el trabajo de enfermería. Metodología: Se realizó una revisión sistemática según PRISMA 2020. Se buscaron estudios de acceso abierto publicados en los últimos cinco años, sin restricción de idioma, y se incluyeron investigaciones observacionales y revisiones relevantes. Se aplicó tamizaje por título y resumen. Resultados: Se analizaron 10 artículos. Las estimaciones variaron por el método diagnóstico; pruebas clínicas y ultrasonido informaron prevalencias entre 16% y 44%, y los metaanálisis por región corporal mostraron prevalencias de muñeca cercanas a 32% en Asia y Europa y 29% para mano y muñeca en perioperatorio. No se hallaron datos comparables de incidencia en enfermería. Discusión: La heterogeneidad sugiere diferencias en definición de caso, exposición y organización del trabajo, y evidencia un continuo entre síntomas y diagnóstico confirmado. Conclusiones: La carga en enfermería es relevante y respalda fortalecer vigilancia, ergonomía y estudios longitudinales estandarizados.
