Objective:

To analyse nursing research in the scientific production of the Ferrol Health Area (ASF).

Methods:

A descriptive study in which Sophos, the scientific production database of the Galician Health Service, was used for data collection. The authors were classified as nursing staff of the ASF and their scientific production from 2011 to 2020 was exported into an Excel spreadsheet in January 2022.

Results:

78 authors were identified: 24.35% work in primary care and 75.65% in hospital care. A total of 169 publications were identified, classified as: original articles, opinion articles, review articles, communications to congresses, guidelines and other types of documents; and distributed among 50 journals. Eight collaborative networks were identified, publishing 82.24% of the articles compared to 17.75 % published by a single author.

Conclusions:

The analysis of the collaboration networks shows consolidated nursing teams that collaborate both within the ASF and with other Sergas centres and other nursing staff fully integrated with research teams in their services.
