Objective: This study aims to quantify and describe the characteristics of scientific production in Brazilian Nursing on Palliative Care between the years 2015-2020.
Methodology: This is a descriptive, bibliometric study. At the end of the selection stage, the final sample of 98 publications emerged.
Results: Of the total number of publications, 28 (28.57%) in the VHL database and 70 (71.43%) in SciELO. Most publications occurred in 2018 with 26 (26.53%) and 2016 with 19 (19.39%) publications, followed by 2017 with 16 (15.36%) publications.
Conclusion: The findings in this study show that in the past 5 years, Brazilian nursing has been discussing and researching palliative care. However, it was also observed that the concentration of Brazilian nursing publications in palliative care is in the Southeast and South regions of Brazil, with the North region falling far short of study in the area.
