ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: to synthesize preventive measures against listeriosis during pregnancy as presented in the scientific literature.
METHODS: a scoping review was conducted following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Articles were systematically searched in the PubMed/MEDLINE, SciELO, Web of Science, LILACS, and Scopus databases. Screening and data extraction were performed manually, with the support of the Rayyan^® software.
RESULTS: of 449 articles initially identified, seven were included. The main preventive measures identified were educational interventions on risks and food safety practices, consistent with health authority recommendations. However, the literature also highlights significant challenges in effectively applying these measures, particularly in adapting them to specific social and cultural contexts.
CONCLUSIONS: health education remains the primary strategy for preventing listeriosis during pregnancy. Nevertheless, its effectiveness depends on integrated actions that address sociocultural barriers, regulatory frameworks, and systematic surveillance.
