SAĞLIK SEKTÖRÜNDE KAMU-ÖZEL İŞ BİRLİĞİ ÜZERİNE BİLİMSEL EĞİLİMLER: BİBLİYOMETRİK AĞ ANALİZİ YAKLAŞIMI

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Web of Sciences veri tabanında yayımlanan, sağlık sektöründeki kamu-özel işbirliği araştırmalarını bibliyometrik yöntemlerle analiz ederek, bu alandaki araştırma eğilimlerini, en sık çalışılan konuları, kullanılan kavram ve anahtar sözcükleri, en sık yayın yapan ve atıf alan yazarları, dergileri, üniversiteleri ve ülkeleri, bilimsel iş birliği ağlarıyla ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Belirlenen anahtar kelimeler doğrultusunda yapılan literatür taramasına göre toplam 625 araştırma makalesi çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Çalışmada, R Studio programlama dilinde Bibliometrix paketi ve Biblioshiny araçları kullanılarak analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular, kamu-özel işbirliği araştırmalarının özellikle 2005 sonrası ivme kazandığını, 2016 yılında atıfların zirve yaptığını, ABD, İngiltere, Hindistan gibi ülkelerin, BMC Health Services Research, Health Policy gibi dergilerin ve London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine ve Stanford Üniversitesi’nin üretimde başı çektiğini, Türkiye’nin ise sınırlı ancak etkili katkılar sunduğunu göstermektedir. Tematik analizde bakım, yönetim, sağlık hizmetleri ve performans gibi kavramların öne çıktığı görülmüştür. Anahtar kelime trendlerinde yönetişim, karar verme, sistem, çerçeve, iletişim ve dijitalleşme gibi kavramlara olan ilginin arttığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışma, sağlık sektöründeki kamu-özel işbirliği alanında literatürün mevcut durumunu haritalayarak gelecek araştırmalar için stratejik yönelimler sunmakta ve çok disiplinli, uluslararası işbirlikçi yaklaşımların önemini vurgulamaktadır.

SCIENTIFIC TRENDS ON PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS IN THE HEALTH SECTOR: A BIOMETRIC NETWORK ANALYSIS APPROACH

Abstract

This study aims to map the current state of research on public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the health sector by conducting a bibliometric analysis of studies indexed in the Web of Science database. The analysis explores research trends, frequently studied topics, key concepts and keywords, most prolific and highly cited authors, journals, universities, and countries, as well as patterns of scientific collaboration. Based on a literature search conducted using predefined keywords, a total of 625 research articles were included in the study. The analyses were carried out using the Bibliometrix package and Biblioshiny interface within the R Studio environment. The findings indicate that research on PPPs gained momentum particularly after 2005, with citation activity peaking in 2016. USA, UK, and India emerged as leading contributors, along with journals such as BMC Health Services Research and Health Policy, and institutions like the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and Stanford University. Although Turkey's contribution appears limited, it is nonetheless impactful. Thematic analysis revealed that concepts such as care, management, health services, and performance are prominent. Trends in keyword usage show a growing interest in governance, decision-making, systems, frameworks, communication, and digitalization. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the literature on PPPs in the health sector, offering strategic directions for future research and highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary and international collaborative approaches.
