Çalışma sağlık hizmeti ekonomisinin sistemik dönüşümünün zorluğunu DAS süreci bağlamında değerlendirmeyi amaçlamıştır. Veri elde etmede Web of Science (WoS) veri tabanı kullanılmıştır. R ortamında biblioshiny aracılığıyla çeşitli analizler yürütülmüştür. Tanımlayıcı bulgular sunulduktan sonra trend kelime, trend kelime ağırlıkları ve bunlara ilişkin görseller elde edilmiştir. Trend kelimelerin yıllara göre gelişim seyrinin değerlendirilmesinde çoklu uyum analizi, görselleştirmede ise ggplot2 paketi kullanılmıştır. Yayınlarda öne çıkan döngüsel yaklaşım kavramları sahadan bilgi ve deneyimlerle desteklenerek sağlık hizmeti ekonomisinin sistemik dönüşümünün zorluğuna dikkat çekilmeye çalışılmıştır. Alandaki yayın ve atıf sayısı artış trendi göstermiştir. Öne çıkan çalışmalar enfeksiyon kontrolü, diyaliz, anestezi ve analjezi alanından gelmektedir. Trend kelimeler; ömür devri değerlendirmesi, yeniden kullanım, sterilizasyon, yeniden işleme vb. kavramların yüksek merkezilik ve yoğunluk düzeyine sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Benzer biçimde çoklu uyum analizi bulguları yakın tarihli çalışmalarda DAS süreçlerine fazlaca vurgu yapıldığını ortaya koymuştur. Bulgular doğrusal sağlık hizmeti ekonomisinden döngüsel sağlık hizmeti ekonomisine yönelik sistemik dönüşümün hastane yönetimleri üzerinde zorluklar yaratacağını açık bir biçimde göstermektedir. Dolayısıyla sağlık hizmetinin hastane düzeyinde sürdürülebilirliği için salt döngüsel yaklaşım yerine tek-kullanımlık malzeme kullanımına devam edildiği hibrit bir yaklaşımın faydalı olacağı değerlendirilmektedir.

A Challenge for Systemic Transformation towards Circular Healthcare Economy: Single-Use or Not?

Öz

The study aims to discuss the challenge of systemic transformation of healthcare economy in the context of disinfection and sterilization (DAS) process. The database of the Web of Science (WoS) has been used to obtain data. In R environment, a variety of analyzes have been conducted through the biblioshiny. Following the descriptive findings, trend words, trend word weights and related visuals have been obtained. Multiple correspondence analysis was used to evaluate the development course of trending words by year, and the ggplot2 package has been used to visualization. An attempt has been made to draw attention to the difficulty of the systemic transformation of the healthcare economy by supporting the circular approach concepts featured in the publications with knowledge and experience from the field. The number of publications and citations in the field has shown an increasing trend. Prominent studies have been conducted in the areas of infection control, dialysis, anesthesia, and analgesia. Trend words have shown that life cycle assessment, reuse, sterilization, reprocessing, etc. concepts have a high level of centricity and concentration. Similarly, multiple correspondence analysis findings have shown that a heavy reliance has been placed on DAS processes in recent studies. The results clearly show that the systemic transformation from a linear healthcare economy to a circular one will create challenges for hospital administrations. It is therefore assessed that a hybrid approach to the continued use of disposable products instead of a purely circular approach will be beneficial to the sustainability of healthcare.
