Bu kapsamda bu çalışmanın amacı sağlık sektöründe çalışanların işten ayrılma niyeti ile ilgili çalışmaların bibliyometrik analizini gerçekleştirmektir. Çalışmanın amacı doğrultusunda geliştirilen arama stratejisine göre çalışmalara Web of Science veri tabanından ulaşılmıştır. Toplam 829 makale araştırmaya dahil edilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler SciMat bibliyometrik analiz programı ile tek bir dönemde analiz edilmiştir.
Elde edilen bulgulara sağlık çalışanlarının işten ayrılma niyeti ile ilgili ilk çalışma 1983 yılında yapılmıştır. En fazla yayın ise 2022 yılındadır. Alana en fazla katkı sağlayan yazar Claude Fernet’tir. Çalışmalar en çok Çin, Amerika ve Güney Kore’de yürütülmüştür. Bununla birlikte işten ayrılma niyeti, meta analizi, işle özdeşleşme, iş güvencesizliği motor temalar, merhamet yorgunluğu, ölçekler izole temalar, anksiyete, iş-aile çatışması, devamlılık ortaya çıkan temalar, liderlik ve hemşireler ise temel temalar olarak belirlenmiştir.
