Introduction Caring for patients with Chronic Kidney Disease requires the collaboration of a multidisciplinary team: nurses play a central role, making a decisive contribution at every stage of the care pathway. Objective The aim is to understand the nursing commitment in the field of Chronic Kidney Disease. The study aims to investigate the level of nurses’ participation in scientific production, distinguishing between that attributable to individual professionals and that promoted by nursing associations, and to determine whether and to what extent the nursing contribution extends beyond academic output. Materials and Methods The literature review was conducted by consulting the PubMed database. The Google Chrome search engine was used to identify nursing associations and consult their official websites. Discussion Nurses play a significant role in scientific production focused on Chronic Kidney Disease, addressing various aspects of the condition and contributing both individually and through associations. It was not possible to carry out an in-depth comparative assessment of these two dimensions due to limited access to publications produced by the associations. In addition to scientific output, nurses’ commitment extends to other activities such as health education, the promotion and implementation of best clinical practices, continuing education and professional development. Conclusions The study confirms the scientific commitment of nurses in the field of Chronic Kidney Disease, which is not limited to clinical practice but extends to research, training, and health education, highlighting a professional figure that is central to the development of scientific knowledge and the improvement of care quality and population health.

Introduzione L’assistenza al paziente con Malattia Renale Cronica richiede la collaborazione di un team multidisciplinare: l’infermiere assume un ruolo centrale, contribuendo in modo determinante in tutte le fasi del percorso assistenziale. Obiettivo L’obiettivo è conoscere l’impegno infermieristico in tema di Malattia Renale Cronica. Lo studio si propone di indagare il grado di partecipazione degli infermieri alla produzione scientifica, distinguendo tra quella riconducibile ai singoli professionisti e quella promossa da associazioni infermieristiche, e comprendere se e in quale misura il contributo infermieristico si estenda oltre la produzione accademica. Materiali e Metodi La revisione della letteratura è stata svolta consultando la banca dati PubMed. Per individuare le associazioni infermieristiche e consultare i loro siti ufficiali è stato utilizzato il motore di ricerca Google Chrome. Discussione Gli infermieri rivestono un ruolo significativo nella produzione scientifica incentrata sulla Malattia Renale Cronica, trattandone diversi aspetti e contribuendo sia a livello individuale sia tramite associazionismo. Non è stato possibile effettuare una valutazione comparativa approfondita tra queste due dimensioni, a causa dell’accesso limitato alle pubblicazioni prodotte dalle associazioni. Oltre alla produzione scientifica, l’impegno degli infermieri si estende ad altre attività come l’educazione sanitaria, la promozione e l’implementazione di buone pratiche cliniche, la formazione continua e l’aggiornamento professionale. Conclusioni Lo studio conferma l’impegno scientifico degli infermieri nell’ambito della Malattia Renale Cronica, che non si limita alla pratica clinica, ma si estende alla ricerca, alla formazione e all’educazione sanitaria, delineando una figura professionale centrale nello sviluppo delle conoscenze scientifiche e nel miglioramento della qualità dell’assistenza e della salute della popolazione. Parole chiave Nursing, nurse, Chronic Kidney Disease, nephrology, kidney transplant, dialysis, association.
