BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF ACADEMIC STUDIES ON OUT-OF-POCKET HEALTH EXPENDITURES

Abstract

Out-of-pocket health expenditures include all expenditures incurred by households to access healthcare servives without reimbursement. For this reason, some households avoid making out-of-pocket health expenditures. It is estimated that more than 150 million people around the world are driven into poverty due to out-of-pocket healthcare expenses, highlighting the importance of studies on this issue. In this study, it was aimed to conduct a detailed bibliometric analysis of academic studies on out-of-pocket health expenditures using VOSviewer program. According to the results of the analysis, it was seen that most of the publications were in the form of journal articles and that English was the most frequently used language. It has been determined that the authors with the most citations and the strongest connection strengths in the relevant field are identified as Mohanty, Sanjay K. and Srivastava, Akanksha, that the country with the highest impact strength is India, and that the institution with the highest impact strength is the International Institute for Population Sciences. According to the results of the study, the prices of healthcare services and products should be kept under control and access to health services should be facilitated.

CEPTEN YAPILAN SAĞLIK HARCAMALARI KONUSUNDA YAPILAN AKADEMİK ÇALIŞMALARIN BİBLİYOMETRİK ANALİZİ

Abstract

Cepten yapılan sağlık harcamaları hanehalklarının herhangi bir sağlık hizmeti almak için yaptıkları tüm masrafları içermektedir. Cepten yapılan sağlık harcamaları için hanehalklarına geri ödeme yapılmamaktadır. Bundan dolayı bazı hanehalkları cepten sağlık harcaması yapmaktan kaçınmaktadırlar. Dünya genelinde 150 milyondan fazla insanın cepten yapılan sağlık harcamalarından dolayı yoksulluğa sürüklendiği tahmin edilmektedir. Bu durum cepten yapılan sağlık harcamaları ile ilgili yapılan çalışmaları önemli kılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada cepten yapılan sağlık harcamaları konusunda yapılan akademik çalışmaların VOSviewer programı ile detaylı bir bibliyometrik analizinin yapılması amaçlanmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre ilgili konuda en fazla makale türünde eser verildiği, yayın dili olarak en çok İngilizceye başvurulduğu görülmüştür. İlgili konuda en fazla atıf alan ve bağlantı gücü en fazla olan yazarların Mohanty, Sanjay K. ve Srivastava, Akanksha olduğu, etki gücü en yüksek olan ülkenin Hindistan olduğu ve etki gücü en yüksek olan kurumun da International Institute for Population Sciences olduğu saptanmıştır. Çalışma sonuçlarına göre sağlık hizmetlerinin ve sağlık ürünlerinin fiyatlarının kontrol altında tutulması ve sağlık hizmetlerine ulaşımın kolaylaştırılması gerekmektedir.
