Postpartum Kanama ile İlgili Hemşirelik Çalışmalarının Haritalanması, Web of Science Analizi: Tanımlayıcı Bir Çalışma

Abstract

Öz Amaç: Bu çalışmada amacı, önlenebilir bir obstetrik acil olan postpartum kanama konusundaki hemşirelik araştırmalarını bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle inceleyerek alanın akademik yapısını, eğilimlerini ve kavramsal yapısını ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Tasarım: Betimleyici bir bibliyometrik analiz çalışmasıdır. Yöntem: Veriler, 10 Şubat 2026 tarihinde "Postpartum Hemorrhage" or "Hemorrhage Postpartum" anahtar kelimeleri ile Web of Science veri tabanının "Hemşirelik" kategorisinden toplanmıştır. Dahil etme kriterlerini karşılayan 345 çalışma VOSviewer 1.6.20 programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Yayın sayısı 1991-2009 döneminde sınırlıyken, 2010 sonrasında belirgin bir artış göstermiş ve 2019'da 33 makale ile zirveye ulaşmıştır. Coğrafi dağılımda, 204 yayın ve 2120 atıf ile Amerika Birleşik Devletleri en baskın ülke konumundayken, onu Kanada ve Avustralya izlemiştir. Türkiye, 4 yayın ve 103 atıf ile literatüre sınırlı bir katkı sağlamıştır. Yazarlar düzeyinde Mavis N. Schorn, kurumsal düzeyde ise Vanderbilt Üniversitesi en fazla atıf almıştır. Anahtar kelime analizi, "postpartum hemorrhage", "maternal mortality", "midwifery" ve "simulation"un alandaki tematik odakları yansıttığını göstermiştir. Sonuç: Hemşirelik literatürü postpartum kanama yönetiminde kanıta dayalı uygulamalara ve simülasyon eğitimine odaklanmıştır. Anne ölüm oranlarının yüksek olduğu ülkeleri kapsayacak küresel işbirliklerinin genişletilmesi ve disiplinlerarası çalışmaların artırılması önerilmektedir.

Mapping Nursing Studies Related to Postpartum Hemorrhage, Web of Science Analysis: A Descriptive Study

Abstract

Abstract Objective: This study aims to reveal the academic structure, trends, and conceptual framework of the field by examining nursing research on postpartum hemorrhage, a preventable obstetric emergency, using bibliometric analysis. Design: This is a descriptive bibliometric analysis study. Methods: Data were collected from the "Nursing" category of the Web of Science database on February 10, 2026, using the keywords "Postpartum Hemorrhage" OR "Hemorrhage Postpartum". 345 studies meeting the inclusion criteria were analyzed using the VOSviewer 1.6.20 program. Results: While the number of publications was limited during the 1991-2009 period, it showed a significant increase after 2010 and peaked in 2019 with 33 articles. In terms of geographical distribution, the United States is the most dominant country with 204 publications and 2120 citations, followed by Canada and Australia. Turkey has made a limited contribution to the literature with 4 publications and 103 citations. Mavis N. Schorn received the most citations at the author level, while Vanderbilt University received the most at the institutional level. Keyword analysis showed that "postpartum hemorrhage," "maternal mortality," "midwifery," and "simulation" reflected the thematic focus in the field. Conclusion: The nursing literature focuses on evidence-based practices and simulation training in the management of postpartum hemorrhage. It is recommended to expand global collaborations to include countries with high maternal mortality rates and to increase interdisciplinary studies.
