VOSVIEWER İLE SAĞLIK FİNANSMANI ÇALIŞMALARININ BİBLİYOMETRİK ANALİZİ

Öz

Sağlık hizmetleri finansmanı küresel bir sorun olmakla birlikte en önemli sağlık göstergelerinden biridir. Sağlık finansmanı, bireylerin etkili sağlık hizmetlerine ulaşabilmesi için yeterli mali kaynakların temin edilmesini sağlamaktır. Sağlık hizmetleri konusunda büyük öneme sahip sağlık finansmanı yıllar itibarı ile çeşitli disiplinlerde farklı araştırmalara konu olmaktadır. Bu perspektifte araştırmanın amacı “health financing” (sağlık finansmanı) kavramını konu alan çalışmaların görsel ve kavramsal haritasını çıkarmaktır. Ayrıca nicel veri göstergeler sonucunda ilgili kavrama ilişkin yapılan bibliyometrik analiz neticesinde, sağlık finansmanına yönelik çalışmaların bütüncül bakış açısını araştırmacılara sunmak hedeflenmektedir. Çalışmada Web of Science veri tabanında taranan 1983-2023 yılları arasında yayınlanan 1642 çalışmanın bibliyometrik verisi esas alınmıştır. Elde edilen analiz sonuçlarına göre health financing ile ilgili 1642 eserin yayın yıllarına göre dağılımı incelendiğinde ilk yıl olan 1983’te 1 eser, son yıl 2023’te 94 eserle karşılaşılmıştır. İlgili alanda en fazla eser veren isimlerin (21 eser) S. Witter, (20 eser) V. Riddle ve (16 eser) O. Onwujekwe olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yayın türünün ağırlıklı olarak 1301 eserle dergi makalesinde olduğu görülmüş, 111 editoryal yazı, 41 bildiri kitabı ve 32 kitap bölümüne rastlanmıştır. Araştırmanın bulguları, health financing kavramına yönelik yayınların yıllara göre oranı, yazındaki hangi dergilerdeki çalışmalara konu edinildiği, çalışmalara yapılan atıf sayıları, hangi anahtar sözcükler seçildiği gibi konuları tespit etmektedir.
