Profile of scientific production on nursing technology construction, validity and application: a bibliometric study

Abstract

Objective: to analyze the profile of scientific production on nursing technology construction, validity and application. Methods: this is a bibliometric study, carried out in six databases, based on the Methodi Ordinatio application, arranged in nine stages. To represent the findings, the VOSviewer® software was used. Results: 346 studies were identified, obtained from BDENF, CINAHL, EMBASE, LILACS, PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science. There was a predominance of the English language, and 20% of the authors hold more than 25% of studies. Only two journals account for 25% of studies in the period studied. Twenty-six studies were selected for the InOrdinatio classification. Nursing Process (23%) stood out among the studies. The most produced technology was software (27%), and 50% of works describe construction and validity. Conclusions: there is an emphasis on the creation of educational technologies, especially information technology. The data demonstrates opportunities for future research in the area.
