Bibliometric analysis of scientific production in occupational health nursing.

Occupational health nursing, formerly known as industrial nursing, which in turn has its foundations in public health, develops preventive, assistance, legal, and expert activities, as well as management, teaching, and research, the last of which updates knowledge and provides answers to questions arising from clinical experience. The aim of this article was to analyze the scientific production about occupational health nursing in Scopus and Web of Science databases. This is a retrospective, descriptive, bibliometric study on the scientific production about occupational health nursing in which scientific evidence was analyzed and characterized using Bibliometrix software. An unequal scientific production was evidenced, with a higher proportion of publications in countries such as the United States, South Korea, Brazil, and Spain; furthermore, there has been a sustained growth in the number of publications, whose topics of greatest interest were associated with health, risks, exposures, and care.
