This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of nursing research on health literacy (HL) through March 2024. Based on preliminary guidelines for reporting bibliometric reviews. Materials & Methods: A bibliometric study on health literacy in nurses was carried out according to the guidelines. The Scopus database was used in this study. The terms "health literacy" OR "health knowledge" OR "health information" OR "health understanding" and "nursing" were searched through March 2024 without time limitations.
