Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı sağlık hizmetleri alanında radyasyon güvenliğine yönelik yapılan çalışmaların bibliyometrik analizini yapmaktır. Araştırmada kapsamına alınan veriler Web of Science veri tabanından indirilmiş ve bibliyometrik analizi SciMAT yazılımı ile yapılmıştır. İlgili literatürün veri tabanından filtrelenmesi için, 1990-2023 yılları arasında "radyasyon güvenliği", "radyasyondan korunma" (konu) ve tıp (tüm alanlarda arama), makale (belge türleri)" arama kriterleri kullanılmıştır. Bu kriterlere uyan 4439 makaleye ulaşılmıştır. En sık kullanılan anahtar kelime “radyasyon güvenliğidir” (n=1250). İlgili literatürde en çok yayın yapan ülkeler Amerika Birleşik Devletleri (n=1172) ve Almanya’dır (n=519). Türkiye 145 yayınla on beşincidir. 1990’lı yıllarda radyasyondan korunmada pasif korunma tedbirlerine yönelik çalışmalar öne çıkarken, 2000’li yıllarda bilgisayarlı tomografi ve girişimsel radyoloji gibi radyasyona maruziyetin yüksek olduğu modalitelerde bilimsel çalışmaların odaklandığı tespit edilmiştir. 2010 yılından günümüze ise radyasyondan aktif korunma yöntemleri ile ilgili çalışmalar ön plana çıkmaktadır. Tıpta radyasyon güvenliğinde çalışan odaklı yaklaşımdan hasta ve çalışan odaklı yaklaşıma, pasif korunma önlemlerinden pasif ve aktif koruma önlemlerine doğru bir değişim eğilimi görülmektedir. Özellikle girişimsel radyoloji ve bilgisayarlı tomografi gibi alanlarda optimizasyon çalışmaları önem kazanmaktadır. Bu çalışma, sağlık hizmetlerinde radyasyon güvenliği konusundaki bilimsel literatürün bibliyometrik analizi ile alandaki tarihsel gelişimi ve mevcut araştırma eğilimlerini kapsamlı bir şekilde ortaya koymaktadır. Bu analiz, araştırma alanındaki önemli boşlukları ve gelecekte odaklanılması gereken konuları belirleyerek, akademisyenler, politika yapıcılar ve sağlık profesyonelleri için değerli bilgiler sunması yönü ile literatüre katkı sunacağı değerlendirilmektedir.

EVOLUTION OF RADIATION SAFETY IN MEDICINE: A BIBLIOMETRIC INSIGHT INTO RESEARCH TRENDS (1990-2023)

Abstract

This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the publications on radiation safety in healthcare. The data in the study was obtained from the Web of Science, and bibliometric analysis was performed with SciMAT software. To filter the literature from the database, the search criteria “radiation safety,” or “radiation protection” (topic), and “medicine” (search in all fields), and “articles” (document types) were used between 1990 and 2023. Four-thousand-four-hundred-thirty-nine (4439) publications meeting these criteria were found. The most frequent keyword was “radiation safety” (n=1250). The countries with the most publications in the literature were the United States of America (n=1172) and Germany (n=519). Türkiye (n=145) ranked fifteenth. Studies on passive protection in radiation protection came to the fore in the 1990s. Scientific studies focused on high radiation exposure modalities, such as computed tomography and interventional radiology, in the 2000s. Since 2010, studies on active radiation protection have come to the fore. A changing trend can be seen in radiation safety in medicine, from an employee-oriented approach to a patient- and employee-oriented approach and from passive protection to passive and active protection measures. Optimization studies are gaining importance, especially in interventional radiology and computed tomography. This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature on radiation safety in medicine, revealing the field’s historical development and current research trends. By identifying significant gaps and future focal points in the research area, this analysis offers valuable insights for academics, policymakers, and healthcare professionals, thus contributing significantly to the literature.
