Mapping The Conceptual Structure of Publications Related to Hospital Accreditation

Abstract

Abstract Hospital accreditation is accepted as a way to improve the quality of health services provided in hospitals and has been used for more than seventy years. The aim of this study was to examine and map the conceptual structure and thematic change of publications related to hospital accreditation using a bibliometric method, co-word analysis. The data used in the study were extracted from the Web of Science database. The data included the studies published between 01.01.1951 and 28.07.2021. SciMAT, VOSviewer, Biblioshiny and Citespaces programs were used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the bibliometric analysis of the 2167 publications included in the analysis, it was found that there was an increase in publications on hospital accreditation and the most frequently used author keyword was quality improvement. The co-occurrence map divided the author keywords into nine clusters: Accreditation, hospitals, quality assurance, education, standards, bariatric surgery, quality, quality improvement and patient safety. Sleeve gastrectomy drew attention among the themes in recent years. The keywords that evolved the most were care and performance. The keyword ‘‘performance’’ evolved into the keywords care, hospitals, intervention and education. The keyword ‘‘care’’ evolved into the keywords care, hospitals, intervention and outcomes. “Outcomes” was a very important theme that studies on hospital accreditation have recently focused on. This study may guide those who plan to conduct research on hospital accreditation. Keywords: Hospital, accreditation, bibliometrics, Web of Science.

Hastane Akreditasyonu ile İlgili Yayınların Kavramsal Yapısının Haritalanması

Abstract

Öz Hastane akreditasyonu, hastanelerde sunulan sağlık hizmetlerinin kalitesini artırmanın bir yolu olarak kabul edilmekte ve yetmiş yıldan uzun süredir kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, hastane akreditasyonu ile ilgili yayınların kavramsal yapısının ve zaman içindeki tematik değişiminin bibliyometrik bir yöntem olan ortak kelime (co-word) analizi ile incelenmesi ve haritalanmasıdır. Çalışmada kullanılan veriler Web of Science veri tabanından alınmıştır. Veriler 01.01.1951-28.07.2021 tarihleri arasında yayımlanan çalışmaları kapsamaktadır. Verilerin analizinde SciMAT, VOSviewer, Biblioshiny ve Citespaces programlarından yararlanılmıştır. Analize dâhil edilen 2167 yayının bibliyometrik analizi sonucunda, hastane akreditasyonu konusundaki yayınlarda artış olduğu ve en sık kullanılan yazar anahtar kelimesinin kalite iyileştirme olduğu belirlenmiştir. Birlikte oluşum haritası yazar anahtar kelimelerini dokuz kümeye (akreditasyon, hastaneler, kalite güvencesi, eğitim, standartlar, bariatrik cerrahi, kalite, kalite iyileştirme, hasta güvenliği) ayırmıştır. Son yılların temel çalışma alanlarına ait temalar içinde tüp mide ameliyatı dikkati çekmektedir. En fazla evrim geçiren anahtar kelimeler bakım ve performans kelimeleridir. Performans anahtar kelimesi bakım, hastaneler, müdahale ve eğitim kelimelerine; bakım anahtar kelimesi ise bakım, hastaneler, müdahale ve sonuçlar anahtar kelimelerine evrilmiştir. Hastane akreditasyonu konulu çalışmaların son dönemde üzerinde durduğu “sonuçlar” çok önemli bir temadır. Bu çalışma, hastane akreditasyonu ile ilgili araştırma yapmayı planlayanlara yol gösterebilir.
