Bibliometric Analysis of Nursing Research Published in the Last 10 Years in the Field of Bariatric Surgery: A Descriptive Study

Abstract

Aim This study aimed to conduct bibliometric analysis of nursing research in bariatric surgery, revealing conceptual developments and research trends. Method A descriptive bibliometric research design was applied. The screening of the study was carried out in the Web of Science database with a year limitation of 2015-2024. The keywords “bariatric surgery” and “nurse” were used in the search. The analysis was performed using the VOSviewer program. Gray literature, books, and book chapters were excluded. Variables analyzed included publication and citation years, journal distribution, research areas, countries, co-authorship, co-citation, and co-occurrence keywords patterns. The STROBE reporting checklist was followed in the study. Results A total of 112 articles were analyzed. It was observed that the most published and cited journal was Obesity Surgery and the country with the highest number of articles published in this field was the United States of America. Frequently used keywords included “bariatric surgery”, “obesity”, “nurse”, “nursing”, and “perioperative care”. Publication activity peaked in 2020, while citations were highest in 2024. The research predominantly addressed “Improving Health and Well-being”, focusing on bariatric surgery, postoperative processes, and nursing concepts. Conclusion Based on the results of this study evaluating nursing research in the field of bariatric surgery, it is recommended to plan new nursing studies focusing on less-explored areas, such as patient education and the preoperative and intraoperative processes in bariatric surgery.

Bariatrik Cerrahi Alanında Son 10 Yılda Yayınlanmış Hemşirelik Araştırmalarının Bibliyometrik Analizi: Tanımlayıcı Bir Çalışma

Abstract

Amaç Bu çalışma, bariatrik cerrahi alanında hemşirelik araştırmalarına ilişkin bibliyometrik analiz ile kavramsal gelişimi ortaya koymayı, içerik ve araştırma eğilimlerini belirlemeyi amaçlamıştır. Yöntem Çalışmada tanımlayıcı bibliyometrik araştırma tasarımı kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın taraması, Web of Science veri tabanında, 2015-2024 yıl sınırlaması yapılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Taramada “bariatrik cerrahi” ve “hemşire” anahtar kelimeleri kullanılmıştır. Analiz için VOSviewer programı kullanılmış ve gri literatür, kitaplar ve kitap bölümleri çalışmaya dahil edilmemiştir. Çalışmanın analizinde; yayın ve atıf yılları, yayınların dergilere, araştırma alanlarına ve ülkelere göre dağılımı, ortak yazar ilişkileri (co-authorship), ortak atıflar (co-citation) ve anahtar kelimelerin birlikte oluşum (co-occurrence keywords) analizi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada STROBE raporlama kontrol listesine uyulmuştur. Bulgular Çalışmaya toplam 112 makale dahil edilmiştir. En çok yayınlanan ve atıf alan derginin Obesity Surgery olduğu ve bu alanda en çok makale yayınlanan ülkenin Amerika Birleşik Devletleri olduğu görülmüştür. Analiz sonuçları, en sık kullanılan anahtar kelimelerin “bariatrik cerrahi”, “obezite”, “hemşire”, “hemşirelik” ve “perioperatif bakım” olduğunu göstermiştir. Analiz sonucunda konu ile ilgili araştırmaların en çok yayınlandığı yıl 2020 olurken, en yüksek atıf sayısına sahip yılın ise 2024 yılı olduğu görülmüştür. Bu alanda yapılan çalışma hedeflerinin genellikle “Sağlığın İyileştirilmesi ve İyi Oluş” yönünde olduğu, çalışılan konuların ise bariatrik cerrahi, postopertatif süreçler ve hemşirelik ile ilgili kavramlardan oluştuğu görülmüştür. Sonuç Bariatrik cerrahi alanında hemşirelik araştırmalarını değerlendiren bu çalışma sonuçlarından yola çıkarak; bariatrik cerrahide daha az çalışılan hasta eğitimi, preoperatif ve intraoperatif süreçlere ilişkin yeni hemşirelik araştırmalarının planlanması önerilir
