BACKGROUND: Acute confusion is a serious situation that englobes change in attention, awareness and cognition, which develops over a short period of time. There is a set of non-pharmacological interventions that help in the prevention of acute confusion, in which the autonomous action of the nurse is fundamental.

RESULTS: Eight studies were included in the integrative literature review, according to the inclusion criteria. It was verified that the non-pharmacological interventions most used by nurses for the prevention of acute confusion in adults hospitalized in Intensive Care Units can be distributed in seven areas: promotion of sensorial stimulation; promotion of guidance; family involvement; pain management; environmental management; sleep promotion and early mobilization and positioning. According to these areas, a set of autonomous nursing interventions was presented used classified language through the International Classification for Nursing Practice - CIPE®, version 2017. CONCLUSIONS: The results obtained allowed the identification of a set of autonomous nursing interventions that are effective in the prevention of acute confusion in adult patients hospitalized in Intensive Care Units, which translates into health gains for the patient and economic gains for the institution.
