Abstract

Özet
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle yenidoğanda emzirme ile ilgili hemşirelik alanında yapılan araştırmalara kapsamlı bir bakış açısı sağlamak ve öne çıkan araştırma konularını belirlemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada, bibliometrix paketine ait Biblioshiny uygulaması, RStudio ve VOSviewer araçları ile ayrıntılı bir bibliyometrik analiz yapılmıştır. “Yenidoğan”, “yenidoğan sağlığı”, “emzirme” ve “hemşire” anahtar kelimeleriyle Scopus veri tabanında 2014-2024 yılları arasında 145 dergide yayımlanan 317 makale taranmıştır. Yapılan analizde yayınların yıllık durumu, üç parametre analizi, dergilerin yayın sayısı, yazarın etkinliği, kelime analizi, tematik analiz, faktör analizi, ülke ve organizasyon durumu gibi faktörler yer almaktadır.
Bulgular: Yazarlar incelendiğinde “Spatz DL”, literatüre kazandırdığı yayınlar doğrultusunda en fazla yayını olan yazardır. Dergiler arasında ise “Breastfeeding Medicine”, en fazla yayına sahip olan dergidir. Robling ve arkadaşlarının yazdığı “Effectiveness of a Nurse-Led Intensive Home-Visitation Programme for First-Time Teenage Mothers (Building Blocks): A Pragmatic Randomised Controlled Trial” makalesi, en çok atıf alan çalışmadır. Uluslararası boyutta iş birliği %15,77 olarak saptanmıştır. Birleşik Krallık ve Amerika, uluslararası iş birliği konusunda dünya liderleridir. Ayrıca Amerika, yayın sayısı açısından da en fazla yayına sahip ülkedir. “Cardiff Üniversitesi” ve “Sydney Üniversitesi”, üretken çalışmalarıyla dikkat çeken kurumlar olmuştur. Ağ haritasında en sık kullanılan anahtar kelimeler “breastfeeding, human milk, infant, breastfeeding support” olarak saptanmıştır.
Sonuç: Bu çalışma, yenidoğanda emzirme süreci ve bu sürecin yönetilmesinde hemşirenin rolüne ilişkin geniş bir bakış açısı sunarak konunun küresel çapta önemini ortaya koymaktadır. Yenidoğan ve emzirme alanlarında yapılan bilimsel çalışmaların genel eğilimlerini, uluslararası iş birliklerini ve mevcut araştırma boşluklarını tespit ederek gelecekte yürütülecek olan araştırmalara yön verebilecek stratejik bir çerçeve oluşturmaktadır. Literatürdeki eğilimlerin incelenmesi, hemşirelik uygulamalarının kanıta dayalı temellerle güçlendirilmesine ve ilgili sağlık politikalarının geliştirilmesine de katkı sağlayacaktır.

BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF NURSING STUDIES RELATED TO BREASTFEEDING IN NEWBORNS

Abstract

Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive view of research in the nursing field related to breastfeeding in newborns and to determine prominent research topics through bibliometric analysis.
Materials and Methods: In this study, detailed bibliometric analysis was executed utilizing the Biblioshiny application from the bibliometrix package, alongside RStudio and VOSviewer tools. A search within the Scopus database, employing the keywords "neonatal," "neonatal health," "breastfeeding," and "nurse," identified 317 articles published across 145 journals between 2014-01-01 and 2024-01-01. The analysis encompassed variables such as the annual publication rate, three-parameter analysis, journal publication count, author influence, keyword analysis, thematic assessment, factor analysis, and the status of countries and organizations.
Results: Analysis of the authors reveals "Spatz DL" as the most prolific contributor to the literature. Among journals, "Breastfeeding Medicine" leads in publication volume. The study "Effectiveness of a Nurse-Led Intensive Home-Visitation Programme for First-Time Teenage Mothers (Building Blocks): A Pragmatic Randomised Controlled Trial," by Robling et al., is the most cited. International collaboration was quantified at 15.77%. The United Kingdom and the USA are the foremost in international collaborative efforts. Furthermore, the USA is the nation with the highest publication output. "Cardiff University" and "University of Sydney" have distinguished themselves through high research productivity. The network map identifies "breastfeeding, human milk, infant, breastfeeding support" as the most frequently occurring keywords.
Conclusion: This study delivers an extensive overview of the breastfeeding process in newborns and the nurse's function in its management, underscoring the issue's global relevance. By pinpointing the overarching trends, international partnerships, and present research deficiencies in scientific investigations concerning newborns and breastfeeding, it forges a strategic blueprint to direct forthcoming research. Scrutinizing the trends within existing literature will further bolster nursing practices via evidence-based principles and foster the advancement of pertinent healthcare policies.
