The Nursing Process directs the activities of a nurse to care routine. This quantitative study investigated the literature and knowledge produced by the nursing graduate programs about nursing process, from 1979 to 2007. Data were collected from CD-ROM and website of the Brazilian Association of Nursing who has the catalogs of the Center for Studies and Research in Nursing. A total of 112 studies were submitted to descriptive analysis-frequency. A growing number of studies on this subject over the past 57 years (50.9%), with a focus on the subjects attended 38 (33.9%) is stated. It stands out that 48 (42.8%) studies used nursing theories as a referential, with a predominance in the stage of nursing diagnosis.
