Resumen

Objective: To analyse the characteristics of articles published on the competencies, abilities, knowledge and education that nurses should have to be able to communicate, inform, disseminate and/or be an informative source in mass media and social media. Design: This bibliometric study involved a comprehensive search of two databases, PubMed and Scopus. The search terms included ‘nursing’, ‘communication’, and ‘mass media’, along with their synonyms. Article selection was performed through screening titles and abstracts, with any uncertainties resolved through discussions among the researchers. Data sources: The data were sourced from PubMed and Scopus, selected for their extensive coverage of academic literature related to nursing and communication. Methods: A total of 1,290 articles were initially identified. After screening, 463 articles were analysed. The study employed bibliometric analysis to evaluate publication trends, authorship patterns, and thematic focus. Key metrics such as annual publication growth rate, co-authorship, and thematic prevalence were assessed. Results and discussion: The analysis revealed that the articles were published from 1,971 onwards, with an annual production growth rate of 6.83%. The total number of authors was 1,645, with an average co-authorship of 3 to 4 researchers per article. The most frequently discussed themes included Social Media, COVID-19, and Nurses. Notable authors included Booth R. (5 articles), Borycki E. (4 articles), and Jackson D. (4 articles). The most prominent journal was Nurse Education Today (20 articles), with the highest publication output from the United States (695 articles), followed by Australia (436 articles). Leading institutions included King Saud University (47 articles) and the University of Tripoli (37 articles). Conclusion: This bibliometric review provides valuable insights for researchers, educators, and managers interested in the evolving role of nursing in traditional and social media. It highlights key researchers, influential journals, significant authors, and prominent countries in this field, offering a foundational understanding for further research and development in nursing communication competencies.
