Abstract (314 Views)
Aims: This study aimed to analyze the trends and developments in the field of hospital and intensive care unit management based on bibliometric data from 2014 to 2023.
Information & Methods: This study employed a qualitative method with a literature review approach and bibliometric analysis. Data were obtained from reputable international journals indexed by Scopus. Data analysis and visualization were carried out using VOSviewer software to identify research trends, relationships between topics, and the geographical distribution of studies.
Findings: The number of publications on hospital and intensive care unit management increased significantly, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the highest spike occurring in 2021. The most frequently occurring keywords included “Patient care,” “Healthcare system,” “Healthcare policy,” “COVID-19,” as well as “Medical staff” and “Patient safety,” emphasizing the importance of patient safety aspects and healthcare policies in hospital management. The United States was the country with the highest number of publications, with 45 documents, followed by the United Kingdom with 20 documents and France with 15 documents.
Conclusion: Bibliometric analysis reveals a significant increase in the number of publications from 2019 to a peak in 2021, reflecting how global conditions, such as the pandemic, have influenced research focus.
