Abstract

Aim: Although malpractice has been on the agenda in various fields of medicine in recent years, the literature data on this subject is still insufficient, especially in the field of mental health. In the literature review, it has been determined that there is a need for a detailed analysis of the publications on psychiatric malpractice in order to guide the researchers in the next process and to examine the studies done so far in a holistic manner. This study aims to analyze the publications on psychiatric malpractices so far.
Material and Methods: Publications on psychiatric malpractice published between 1980-2022 were analyzed using bibliometric methods. The data of the publications were accessed from the Web of Science database, and in the first stage of the research, the numerical data of the researches in this field were examined with performance analyzes. In the second stage, visual network maps were created using the Vosviewer package program.
Results: As a result of the search, a total of 426 publications and 8,901 citation were found. The field with the highest number of publications is Psychiatry with 219 publications, and the authors with the highest number of publications in this field are S.C.Charles with 11 publications and T.G.Gutheil with 10 publications. The institution with the largest number of publications is Harvard University with 46 publications. The most common type of publication is articles and their total number is 312. It has been determined that the journal with the highest number of publications in this field is the Journal Of The American Academy Of Psychiatry And The Law with 35 publications. It has been determined that USA has the highest number of publications with 279 publications.
Conclusion: This comprehensive bibliometric analysis study examined the studies on malpractice in the field of psychiatry, and as far as we know, it is the first bibliometric analysis in the field of psychiatric malpractice. It is thought that our study will guide researchers interested in this field by providing a holistic perspective on the characteristics of the publications made so far in the field of malpractice in psychiatry.

Abstract

Amaç: Son yıllarda tıbbın çeşitli alanlarında malpraktis konusu oldukça gündemde olmasına rağmen bu konudaki literatür verisi özellikle de ruh sağlığı alanında halen yetersizdir. Yapılan literatür taramasında bundan sonraki süreçte araştırmacılara yol gösterici olması ve şimdiye kadar yapılan araştırmaların bütüncül olarak incelenmesi açısından psikiyatrik malpraktis konusundaki yayınlara ait ayrıntılı bir analiz ihtiyacının mevcut olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışma psikiyatrik malpraktisler konusunda şimdiye dek yapılan yayınların analizini hedeflemektedir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: 1980-2022 Yılları arasında yayınlanmış Psikiyarik Malpraktisler ile ilgili yayınlar bibliyometrik yöntemler kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Yayınlara ait verilere Web of Science veri tabanından ulaşılmış olup araştırmanın ilk aşamasında performans analizleriyle bu alandaki araştırmalara ait sayısal veriler incelenmiştir. İkinci aşamada ise Vosviewer paket programı kullanılarak görsel ağ haritaları oluşturulmuştur.
Bulgular: Yapılan arama sonucunda toplamda 426 yayına ve 8901 atıfa ulaşılmıştır. En fazla sayıda yayın yapılan alan 219 yayınla psikiyatri olup, bu alanda en fazla sayıda yayın yapan yazarlar 11 yayınla S.C. Charles ve 10 yayınla T.G. Gutheil’dir. En fazla sayıda yayına sahip kurum 46 yayınla Harvard Üniversitesidir. En sık yayın tipi makale olup bunların toplam sayısı 312’dir. Bu alanda en fazla yayına sahip derginin 35 yayın ile Journal Of The American Academy Of Psychiatry And The Law dergisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. 279 yayınla ABD’nin en fazla sayıda yayına sahip ülke olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
Sonuç: Bu kapsamlı bibliyometrik analiz çalışması psikiyatri alanındaki malpraktislere yönelik çalışmaları incelemiş olup, bildiğimiz kadarıyla psikiyatrik malpraktis alanında yapılan ilk bibliyometrik analizdir. Çalışmamızın psikiyatride malpraktis alanında şimdiye kadar yapılan yayınların özelliklerine bütüncül bir bakış açısı sağlayarak bu alanla ilgilenen araştırmacılara yol göstereceği düşünülmektedir.
