Abstract

This study is about scientific analysis of Multiple sclerosis rehabilitation. For this purpose, scientific mapping method
was used in the analysis of publications. Scientific studies published in the Web of Science (WoS) database on
rehabilitation in patients with multiple sclerosis between 1986-2021 were analyzed by bibliometric analysis method.
VOSviewer package program was used to analyze the data. The data were analyzed in terms of variables such as the
author of the publications, countries, active journal, citations, institutions, keywords. As a result of the study, regarding
the publications on multiple sclerosis and its rehabilitation; the highest number of studies were published between
2018-2021, with the USA in the first place in this regard; Researchers affiliated with the University of Alabama
Birmingham have the most publications on this subject; most publications were published in the journal Disability and
Rehabilitation; the researcher who contributed the most to the subject is Robert W. Motl; It was seen that the most cited
publication on multiple sclerosis belongs to Kurtzke JF. From Turkey, Idiman E. is at the forefront of the names that
contribute to this field. As a result of the findings, it has been observed that the publications on multiple sclerosis and its
rehabilitation have increased in recent years. This study can provide researchers with useful information about research
directions and limitations, and coauthorship of publications. Focus on research base and collaborations should be
increased for high quality multiple sclerosis rehabilitation studies.

MULTİPLE SKLEROZ’DA REHABİLİTASYONUN BİLİMSEL HARİTALAMA YÖNTEMİYLE ANALİZİ

Abstract

Bu çalışma Multiple skleroz (MS) rehabilitasyonunun bilimsel analizi ile ilgilidir. Bu amaçla yayınların analizinde bilimsel
haritalama yöntemi kullanılmıştır. 1986-2021 yılları arasında multiple skleroz hastalarında rehabilitasyon ile ilgili Web of
Science (WoS) veri tabanında yayınlanan bilimsel çalışmalar bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. Verilerin
analizi yapmak için VOSviewer paket programı kullanılmıştır. Veriler, yayınların yazarı, ülkeler, etkin dergi, yapılan
atıflar, kurumlar, anahtar kelimeler gibi değişkenler bakımından analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda multiple skleroz
ve rehabilitasyonuna ilişkin yayınlarla ilgili olarak; en fazla çalışmanın 2018-2021 yılları arasında yayınlandığı, ABD’nin
bu konuda ilk sıralarda yer aldığı; Alabama Birmingham Üniversitesi’ne bağlı araştırmacıların bu konuda en fazla yayın
yaptığı; en fazla yayının Disability and Rehabilitation dergisinde yayınlandığı; konuya en fazla katkı yapan
araştırmacının Robert W. Motl olduğu; multiple skleroz konusunda en fazla atıf alan yayının Kurtzke JF’e ait olduğu
görülmüştür. Türkiye’den ise İdiman E. bu alana katkı yapan isimlerin ön sıralarında gelmektedir. Son yıllarda multiple
skleroz ve rehabilitasyonuna ilişkin yayınların arttığı gözlenmiştir. Bu çalışma araştırmacılara araştırma yönelimleri ve
sınırları, yayınlarda ortak yazarlıklar hakkında faydalı bilgiler sağlayabilir. Üst nitelikli multiple skleroz rehabilitasyon
çalışmaları için araştırma dayanağı ve iş birliklerine odaklanma arttırılmalıdır.
