Abstract

Bibliometric and scientometric study that
identified and characterized the nursing publications
regarding radiotherapy and brachytherapy in Brazil. Data
collection was performed in August 2013, with search in
the Nursing Database, Latin American Literature in Health
Sciences, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System
Online and Scientific Electronic Library Online, using the
descriptors “nursing”, “radiotherapy” and “brachytherapy”.
It included 30 publications analyzed by simple descriptive
statistics and the results showed that 43.33% of knowledge
was produced by M.Sc. graduates and students, mostly
linked to educational institutions in the Southeast; 56.66%
published in journals classified as strata A1 and B1;
20% covered prevention, identification and treatment
of complications and side effects; the studies were
predominantly qualitative. The production of knowledge in
the investigated area is incipient; therefore, there is the need
for more research to improve the care to people subject to
these treatment modalities.
