title: [Scientific production of Brazilian nurses on blood pressure measurement].
abstract: In the previous issue of this journal the authors celebrated in an article the discovery of the Korotkoff sounds, in 1905, and presented the historical facts that determined the important role of the University of São Paulo's Nursing School (EEUSP) in the development of the oldest blood pressure research line in Brazilian Nursing: "Cuff Width Influence in Blood Pressure Measurement." This new article presents the scientific production derived from the studies carried out by nurses with a PhD from EEUSP during and after their doctoral programs in the area. The path each researcher followed in his/her group and laboratory is emphasized. The data presented is aimed at offering a number of qualitative and quantitative indicators that make possible to evaluate the impact of the research that they have carried out, as well as the development of knowledge in the area.
