Nursing, Health Policy, Quilombola Communities, Health InequitiesAbstract
Objective: to analyze the scientific production on health in quilombola communities, focusing on time trends, key institutions and journals, international collaboration and predominant topics. Method: this bibliometric study was conducted using the Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed databases, analyzing keywords, titles and abstracts. Data collection took place in March 2025. The Bibliometrix® tool was used to examine publication progression and to identify leading institutions and journals, international collaborations and key topics. Results: a total of 216 articles published between 2008 and 2024 were identified, with highlights on the Ciência & Saúde Coletiva and Cadernos de Saúde Pública journals. Universidade Federal da Bahia and Universidade Federal do Maranhão were the main contributors. The terms “Brazil”, “cross-sectional studies” and “quilombolas” were frequent, while “public health” and “ethnicity and health” displayed rising prominence. Collaboration with institutions in the USA and Canada was noticed. Conclusion: a clear need emerged to expand research integrating cultural and territorial perspectives into health policies targeting this population segment.
