Manuel Lenfatik Drenaj ile İlgili Çalışmaların VOSviewer ile Bibliyometrik Analizi

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, manuel lenfatik drenaj (MLD) üzerine yapılan araştırmaların bir haritasını çıkarmaktır. Analiz, Web of Science (WOS) veri tabanında indekslenen ve 1989-2024 yılları arasında yayınlanan çalışmalara dayanmaktadır. Yöntemler: Her makale için şu veri noktaları kaydedildi: yayın yılı, makale türü, yazar, WOS kategorisi, orta düzey atıf konuları, mikro düzey atıf konuları, WOS indeksi, bağlantılar, yayın başlıkları, yayın dili, ülke, yayınevi ve araştırma alanı. Bulgular: MLD ile ilgili toplam 519 makale tespit edilmiştir. En fazla yayının yapıldığı beş yıl sırasıyla 2022 (n=53), 2021 (n=49), 2020 (n=49), 2023 (n=39) ve 2019 (n=36) olmuştur. Makalelerin çoğunluğu İngilizce (n=459) dilinde yazılmış olup, bunu Almanca (n=36), Fransızca (n=11), Lehçe (n=5) ve Portekizce (n=4) takip etmektedir. En sık kullanılan anahtar kelimeler lenfödem (n=161), manuel lenfatik drenaj (n=133), meme kanseri (n=87), lenfödem (n=36) ve rehabilitasyon (n=31) idi. Sonuçlar: Bu çalışma, sağlık alanındaki manuel lenfatik drenaj araştırmalarına kapsamlı bir genel bakış sağlayarak araştırmacıların, akademik dergilerin ve uygulayıcıların sağlık alanındaki araştırmaların gelişimini ve potansiyel uygulama sonuçlarını daha iyi anlamalarına yardımcı olmaktadır.

BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF STUDIES ON MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE WITH VOSVIEWER

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to map the research on manual lymphatic drainage (MLD). The analysis was based on studies indexed in the Web of Science (WOS) database and published between 1989 and 2024. Methods: The following data points were recorded for each article: publication year, article type, author, WOS category, mid-level citation topics, micro-level citation topics, WOS index, affiliations, publication titles, publication language, country, publishing house, and research area. Results: A total of 519 articles on MLD were identified. The five years with the highest number of publications were 2022 (n=53), 2021 (n=49), 2020 (n=49), 2023 (n=39), and 2019 (n=36). The majority of the articles were written in English (n=459), followed by German (n=36), French (n=11), Polish (n=5), and Portuguese (n=4). The most frequently used keywords were lymphedema (n=161), manual lymphatic drainage (n=133), breast cancer (n=87), lymphoedema (n=36), and rehabilitation (n=31). Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive overview of manual lymphatic drainage research in healthcare, helping researchers, academic journals and practitioners to better understand the development of research in healthcare and its potential application implications.
