Abstract

This bibliometric study aimed to characterize
the nursing scientific production and the use of thematic
oral history as a method or technique in the Brazilian
context, between January 2008 and September 2012,
indexed in Brazilian and international databases. For the
search, the term “thematic oral history” was used. A total
of 32 articles was selected. The majority of the studies were
concentrated in 2010, in the south-east and north-east
regions of Brazil, and the most-studied thematic areas were
women’s health, education in nursing, and mental health.
It was observed that the fields of research in thematic oral
history are mainly collective spaces, and the subjects of the
studies are often vulnerable in relation to some unstable
health and/or life condition. Giving “a time and a voice” to
people in the health and nursing contexts is an important
scientific path.
