Objective: Children are one of the groups most affected by earthquake-related adverse events. Rehabilitation practices are very important to ensure that earthquake-affected children achieve and maintain optimal independence, functioning; full physical, mental, social abilities, and participation in all aspects of life and environments. The aim of this study is to examine post-earthquake rehabilitation studies in children by bibliographic analysis method.

Material and Method: Forty-eight original articles published from the Web of Science Core Collection database from the beginning of the literature to the date of the review were analyzed. Bibliometrics, a scientific mapping software, was used for data analysis and visualization of the literature. Performance analysis, content analysis, dynamic analyses, and strategic diagram analysis were performed to systematically reveal information about the studies.

Results: Most studies were conducted on depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, mental health, fractures, and pain. The studies were mostly conducted by research institutes and similarly mostly originated from the Far East. Children with special needs and disaster preparedness have only recently begun to be examined in the literature. Mental health and post-traumatic stress disorder have only recently started to be studied in the literature and have the potential to significantly impact the field.

Conclusion: This study visualized and analyzed emerging trends and trending topics by reviewing studies on post-earthquake rehabilitation in children. It was observed that there are very few qualified studies investigating the effects of earthquakes on children and the interest of researchers in this subject. A more comprehensive and detailed presentation of the multifaceted effects of earthquakes on children's health will ensure that the importance of this issue is understood by more readers, researchers, clinicians, industry professionals, and policy makers. Mental health professionals give the most importance to this issue and this awareness should be increased and spread to other areas of rehabilitation.

Çocuklarda Deprem Sonrası Rehabilitasyon Çalışmalarının Bibliyografik Analiz Yöntemiyle İncelenmesi: Sistematik Derleme

Öz

Amaç: Çocuklar, depremle ilişkili olumsuz durumlardan en çok etkilenen gruplardan biridir. Deprem etkisi altında kalmış çocukların bağımsızlığı, işlevselliği ve tam fiziksel, zihinsel ve sosyal yetenekleriyle yaşamlarının her alanında aktif olmalarını desteklemek için rehabilitasyon uygulamaları oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı çocuklarda deprem sonrası rehabilitasyon çalışmalarının bibliyografik analiz yöntemiyle incelenmesidir.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Web of Science Core Collection veri tabanından literatür başlangıcından tarama tarihine kadar yayımlanan 48 orijinal makale incelendi. Veri analizi ve literatürün görselleştirilmesi için bilimsel haritalama yazılımı Bibliometrix kullanıldı. Çalışmalara ilişkin bilgileri sistematik olarak ortaya çıkarmak performans analizi, içerik analizi, dinamik analizler ve stratejik diyagram analizi yapıldı.

Bulgular: Bu konuda yapılan çalışmaların çoğu depresyon, post travmatik stres bozukluğu, ruh sağlığı, kırıklar ve ağrı konularında yapılmıştır. Çalışmalar çoğunlukla araştırma enstitüleri tarafından yapılmış olup benzer şekilde çoğunlukla uzak doğu kaynaklıdır. Özel gereksinimli çocuklar ve afetlere hazırlık konuları literatürde yakın zamanda incelenmeye başlanmıştır. Ruh sağlığı ve post travmatik stres bozukluğu konuları da literatürde yakın zamanda çalışmaya başlanmış olmakla birlikte alanı bir bütün olarak önemli ölçüde etkileme potansiyeline sahiptir.

Sonuç: Bu çalışma, deprem sonrası çocuklarda rehabilitasyon ile ilgili yapılan çalışmaları inceleyerek gelişen eğilimleri ve trend konuları görselleştirmiş ve analiz etmiştir. Çocuklarda depremlerin etkilerini araştıran nitelikli çalışmalar ve bu konuya araştırmacıların ilgisinin oldukça az olduğu görülmüştür. Çocuk sağlığı üzerinde depremlerin çok yönlü etkilerini daha ayrıntılı bir şekilde ortaya koymak, bu konunun önemini okuyucular, araştırmacılar, klinik uzmanlar, endüstriyel profesyoneller ve politika yapıcılar tarafından daha iyi anlaşılmasını sağlayacaktır. Bu konuya en fazla önem ruh sağlığı profesyonelleri tarafından verilmekte olup bu farkındalığın artması ve rehabilitasyonun diğer alanlarına da yayılması gerekmektedir.
