ABSTRACT
Objective:
to characterize the scientific production that uses nursing theories from theses made by nurses in Brazil.
Método:
bibliometric study carried out at the Banco de Teses da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento Pessoal de Nível Superior and at the Plataforma Sucupira, in November 2019. Sixty-three theses were selected, read in their entirety for annotations and extraction of aspects of interest, as follows: year, university, author, advisor, program, theory, mode of application, type of study, nature and theme.
Results:
the greatest number of productions happened in 2016 with 16 (25.4%) theses, with emphasis on the Northeast with 31 (49.2%). The most used theory was the Theory of Transcultural Care in eight (12.7%), with the most investigated theme being care in 12 (13%) theses.
Conclusion:
the inclusion of nursing theories in teaching and research still remains obscure. It is intended to give visibility to the theme and suggest the deepening of the discussion.
