Abstract

In the field of health, the focus on factors influencing well-being has evolved, and the exposome has emerged as a key concept. This notion encompasses all environmental exposures throughout an individual's life, and its influence on health is as significant as conventional genetic and risk factors. Nursing professionals acknowledge the importance of not only addressing specific illnesses but also considering comprehensively everyone’s life experiences.

The article concentrates on the relationship between the exposome and nursing, aiming to comprehend how environmental exposures impact health and how nurses can apply this knowledge in practice. However, the conducted bibliographic review reveals a shortage of studies directly addressing this intersection. This lack of research emphasizes the urgency for more detailed studies on how nursing can impact environmental risk mitigation and promote health.

A comprehensive review of inclusion criteria and an expansion of search strategies are suggested to encompass relevant studies. The absence of identified evidence underscores the need for future research documenting the direct role of nursing in managing environmental exposures, providing crucial guidance to enhance care and prevent diseases associated with alterations in the human exposome.
