Abstract

Objective: to map the scientific production on self-care among people with ostomy. Methods: a bibliometric review was conducted, encompassing publications from 2009 to 2024 related to self-care in individuals with ostomy. Data were collected from the BDENF, LILACS, MEDLINE, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Embase, and CINAHL databases. Indexed articles linked to Brazil were included. Analyses were performed using the VOSviewer software. Results: a total of 241 articles were included, with the main descriptors being nursing care, quality of life, stomatherapy, women, children, validation studies, and distance education. Two authors stood out for their volume of production, one from the Southeast region and another from the Northeast region. Scientific output is concentrated among research groups affiliated with universities, but without the establishment of a collaborative network. Conclusion: there has been an increase in scientific production, although it remains concentrated in groups that do not establish collaborative networks. Self-care in individuals with ostomy is associated with a variety of themes, indicating researchers' intention to address this phenomenon in its entirety. Contributions to practice: the findings reveal gaps and underexplored topics, highlighting the need to develop joint research agendas to enhance evidence on self-care for people with ostomy.
