Objetivo: Identificar os principais cuidados de enfermagem relacionados à prevenção de prolapso em ostomias intestinais. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, utilizando as bases de dados Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Base de Dados de Enfermagem (BDENF), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System On-line (PubMed/MedLine) e Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, publicados entre 2011 e 2020. Após a busca na literatura científica, foram selecionados vinte e dois estudos para análise sobre os cuidados relacionados à prevenção do prolapso. Resultados: A demarcação do estoma, a educação pré-operatória, o acompanhamento telefônico educacional de suporte pós-alta realizado pela estomaterapeuta foram apontados como cuidados e/ou estratégias para prevenção do prolapso. Conclusão: A demarcação cirúrgica prévia do estoma associada à educação pré-operatória e aos programas de educação e/ou intervenção voltados para o gerenciamento da ostomia no pós-operatório podem ser consideradas importantes tecnologias de cuidado capazes de prevenir o prolapso em ostomias intestinais. Todavia, a realização da demarcação ainda carece de evidências científicas mais robustas, tendo em vista que sua prática ainda não é efetivada, em larga escala, no âmbito internacional.
