Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted in honor of Public Health Nursing's 40th anniversary. The study was unique as it provided the first bibliometric analysis revealing the evolution of Public Health Nursing's publications.

Design and methods: This study was a bibliometric analysis. The study was carried out by analyzing 2985 publications. Data were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database on December 31, 2024. The data analysis and graphical presentation were conducted using the Bibliometrix Package in R software and WoSCC.

Results: Public Health Nursing has had a rapidly growing impact on the field of public health nursing in terms of publications and citations. The most productive and collaborative country was the United States. "COVID-19," "vaccination," "older adults," "knowledge," "climate change," and "attitude" were the trending topics in recent years. According to the thematic map, more studies addressing the topics of "physical activity, obesity, adolescents" were required.

Conclusion: The journal has an increasing contribution and impact on public health nursing studies. It was determined that the journal's publishing network was in good condition worldwide, and the thematic diversity was high. In addition, focusing on the topics that need further study can contribute to the field of public health nursing.
