Pressure Injuries in Different Disciplines: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

Introduction: Despite developing health technologies and many preventive approaches, pressure injuries are still among the current health problems for health professionals and health costs. Aim: This study was conducted to examine the features of the studies on pressure injuries in different disciplines like authors, journals, and the number of citations and provide a perspective for further studies.Material and Methods: The study used the bibliometric analysis method, MS Excel program, and Vosviwer. The data were searched using the keywords “pressure ulcer”, “pressure wound”, pressure injuries”, bedsore”, “pressure sores”, “decubitus ulcer”, and “decubitus” Results: A total of 4224 research articles, book chapters, and review articles were analyzed for the study criteria. The results showed that the first article was published in 1949, the highest number of studies was done in 2021, 87.2% of the studies were nursing, and 13.3% were published in the Journal of Wound Care. 87.9% of the studies were published in English, and 26.7% were published in the United States of America. It was determined that there was a positive relationship between the number of publications and the gross national product of the countries (r=0.774, p<0.009). Conclusion and sugestions: It was concluded that despite the increasing number of studies on pressure injury over the years, there was a decrease in author collaboration, the studies were primarily conducted in nursing and published in relevant journals, and there was a lack of a multidisciplinary approach. With this research, new researchers will be asked research to be conducted on the subject when researching pressure injury, it provides researchers with which keywords they can use, which authors’ articles they can review, and collaborative research by the authors. Based on the research results, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration and interdisciplinary cooperation is recommended for pressure injury prevention.
