Abstract

Objective: The aim of this research is to perform a bibliometric analysis of published academic studies on "physical restraint" in the field of nursing in the Web of Science database.
Methods:
A bibliometric analysis of 229 academic studies conducted between 2013 and 2023 used the keywords “physical restraint”, “mechanical restraint”, and “freedom restraining measures”.
In the analysis conducted using VOS-viewer software, the number of publications by year, their distribution by journals, the most cited studies, the country where the most publications were made, the most frequently used keywords and co-authorship were examined.
Results: It was determined that the highest number of documents belonged to 2022. The highest number of publications was made in Wiley. Muir-Cochrane is the leading researcher with 7 articles and 133 citations. Maastricht University (
the Netherlands?) ranks first among institutions with authors publishing on physical restraint. The country with the most publications and collaborative networks is the United States, and Turkey is also among the top ten countries. The journal with the most publications is the International Journal of Mental Health Nursing, while the most cited journal is the International Journal of Nursing Studies. It was determined that concepts such as restraint, nursing, intensive care, mental health, coercion, and empathy were used the most in the publications.
Conclusion: In this bibliometric analysis, it was determined that studies on physical restraint in the field of nursing have gained momentum, that they are most frequently examined in terms of concepts such as restraint, nursing, intensive care, mental health, coercion, psychiatric nursing, patient safety, and empathy, and that the studies are mostly conducted in the field of nursing.

Fiziksel Kısıtlama Konulu Hemşirelik Çalışmalarının Bibliyometrik Analizi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, Web of Science veri tabanında, hemşirelik alanında “fiziksel kısıtlama” üzerine yayımlanmış akademik çalışmaların bibliyometrik analizini gerçekleştirmektir.
Yöntem: Çalışmada veri tabanında 2013-2023 yılları arasında tarama yapılmıştır. Taramada “physical restraint”, “mechanical restraint” ve “freedom restraining measures” anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak 229 akademik çalışmaya ait bibliyometrik analiz yapılmıştır. Analizde VOS-viewer yazılımı kullanılmış ve yıllara göre yayın sayıları, dergilere göre dağılımları, en çok atıf alan araştırmalar, en çok yayın yapılan ülke, en sık kullanılan anahtar kelimeler ve ortak yazarlık yönü incelenmiştir.
Bulgular: Araştırma sırasında Web of Science'da hemşirelik alanında fiziksel kısıtlamaya ilişkin en fazla sayıda belgenin 2022 yılına ait olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu konuda en fazla yayın Wiley'de yapılmıştır. Muir-Cochrane, 7 makale ve 133 atıfla önde gelen araştırmacıdır. Maastricht Üniversitesi (Hollanda) fiziksel kısıtlama konusunda yayın yapan yazarların bulunduğu kurumlar arasında ilk sırada yer alıyor. En fazla yayına ve işbirlikçi ağlara sahip ülke Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'dir. Türkiye de konu alanında yayın yapan ülkeler sıralamasında ilk on ülke içerisinde yer almaktadır. Fiziksel kısıtlamaya ilişkin en fazla yayının yapıldığı dergi International Journal of Mental Health Nursing iken en fazla atıf alan dergi ise International Journal of Nursing Studies’tir. Fiziksel kısıtlama ile ilgili yapılan bilimsel yayınlarda en çok kısıtlama, hemşirelik, yoğun bakım, akıl sağlığı, zorlama, empati gibi kavramların kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir.
Sonuç: Bu bibliyometrik analizde hemşirelik alanında fiziksel kısıtlama konusunda yapılan çalışmaların ivme kazandığı, en sık kısıtlama, hemşirelik, yoğun bakım, akıl sağlığı, zorlama, psikiyatri hemşireliği, hasta güvenliği, empati gibi kavramlar açısından incelendiği ve çalışmaların en çok hemşirelik alanında yapıldığı belirlenmiştir.
