Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the current state of the literature on suicide prevention and resilience among youth through bibliometric analysis. Within this framework, studies published in Web of Science (WoS) database between 1993 and 2023 were selected as the sample. VOSViewer software and the default interface of WoS were utilized to analyze the results. According to the results of the analysis, a total of 451 studies were found. Most of the studies were research articles, followed by reviews and conference abstracts. The annual number of publications followed a 4-fold increase in 30 years and the average number of citations per article was found to be 18.01, while 139 studies were not cited at all. The majority of the studies belonged to the fields of psychology and psychiatry and were published in developed countries and in English. Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior was found to be the journal in which the most studies on the subject area were published. It was found that the most cited study was a review study published by M.S. Gould et al. The United States of America was found to be the country where the majority of the studies were conducted and the country most open to collaboration. The most frequently used keywords in the studies were suicide, suicide prevention, youth, prevention, and mental health. In conclusion, the issue of suicide prevention and psychological resilience in young people is an emerging research area that attracts the attention of researchers, and studies in this field should be encouraged, especially in developing and underdeveloped countries.

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, gençler arasında intiharı önleme ve psikolojik sağlamlık ile ilgili literatürün mevcut durumunu bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle incelemektir. Bu kapsamda, Web of Science (WoS) veri tabanında 1993-2023 yılları arasında yayınlanan çalışmalar örneklem olarak seçilmiştir. Sonuçların analizinde VOSViewer yazılımı ve WoS'un varsayılan arayüzü kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre toplamda 451 çalışmaya ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmaların çoğunu araştırma makaleleri oluştururken, bunları derleme ve konferans özetleri takip etmiştir. Yıllık yayın sayısı belirlenen 30 yılda 4 kat artış göstermiş ve makale başına ortalama atıf sayısı 18,01 olarak bulunmuş olup 139 çalışma ise hiç atıf almamıştır. Çalışmaların büyük çoğunluğu psikoloji ve psikiyatri alanlarına ait olup, gelişmiş ülkelerde ve İngilizce olarak yayımlanmıştır. Konu alanına yönelik çalışmaların en fazla yayınlanmış olduğu dergi Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior olarak belirlenmiştir. En fazla atıf alan çalışmanın ise M.S. Gould ve arkadaşları tarafından yayınlanan bir derleme çalışması olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmaların büyük çoğunluğunun yapıldığı ve iş birliğine en açık ülke Amerika Birleşik Devletleri olarak belirlenmiştir. Yapılan çalışmalarda en sık kullanılan anahtar kelimeler suicide (intihar), suicide prevention (intiharı önleme), youth (genç), prevention (önleme) ve mental health (ruh sağlığı) olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, gençlerde intiharı önleme ve psikolojik sağlamlık konusunun git gide gelişen ve araştırmacılar tarafından ilgi çeken bir araştırma alanı olduğu tespit edilmiş olup bu alanda yapılan çalışmaların özellikle gelişmekte olan ve az gelişmiş ülkelerde teşvik edilmesi gerektiği düşünülmektedir. Bu araştırmadan elde edilen bulguların gençlerde intiharı önleme ve psikolojik sağlamlık konusuyla ilgilenen araştırmacılara yol göstereceğine inanılmaktadır.
