Health research data is highly complex, diverse, and sensitive, requiring structured practices for management, curation, and sharing. This study aimed to analyze nursing research data available in national repositories, based on the taxonomy proposed by Sales and Sayão (2019), and discuss its implications for data management and the implementation of the FAIR principles. This is an exploratory, descriptive study with a qualitative-quantitative approach. The results showed a predominance of observational and experimental data, mostly in the final stage of processing, organized mainly in visualization and textual formats, and widely available in open access. It is concluded that the taxonomy is a relevant tool to support data management and the implementation of the FAIR principles, as it favors the identification of metadata requirements, preservation strategies, and sharing conditions. It is recommended to develop a taxonomy for each area of knowledge, with more specific metadata for knowledge domains, greater researcher autonomy in choosing licenses, and training actions on the ethical and legal implications of reuse.
