Abstract

Objective: Physiological and psychological conditions can cause female sexual dysfunction (FSD). It is called vaginismus when sexual dysfunction occurs with vaginal cramps and spasms. The aim of our research is to present the research topics and trends about FSD and vaginismus to the reader in a global context

Material and Methods: We used the terms ‘female sexual dysfunction’ and ‘vaginismus’ as keywords and we determined the articles indexed in the Web of Science database. We included all the articles in the database between 1980 and 2019. Documents of 2020 were excluded from this study. Gunnmap free open web-based application was used to visualize global research productivity. Vos-viewer 2019 program was used to determine the scientific relevance of the data.

Results: We reached 2212 documents in total, 95.6 % of these articles were written in English, and 64.4% of the documents were original articles. Articles about vaginismus and FSD increased in the 1995s, the most productive year was 2019. The most productive country in genital cosmetics and aesthetics was the United States (USA), the most productive university was The University of British Columbia. The most productive writer was Goldstein I.

Conclusion: Studies on vaginismus and FSD have increased over the past decade, and and non-invasive psychiatric interventions appear to be popular. Our analysis is an identity provider for articles covering vaginismus and FSD.

1980-2019 Yıllarında Vajinismus ve Kadın Cinsel İşlev Bozukluğu Üzerine Küresel Araştırma Eğilimleri: Bir Scientometrik Analiz

Abstract

Amaç: Fizyolojik ve psikolojik durumlar kadın cinsel işlev bozukluğuna (CİB) neden olabilir. Vajinal kramplar ve spazmlar ile cinsel işlev bozukluğu meydana gelmesine vajinismus denir. Araştırmamızın amacı, CİB ve vajinismus ile ilgili araştırma konularını ve eğilimlerini okuyucuya küresel bir bağlamda sunmaktır.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: "Kadın cinsel işlev bozukluğu" ve "vajinismus" terimlerini anahtar kelime olarak kullandık ve Web of Science veritabanında dizine eklenen makaleleri belirledik. Veri tabanında 1980-2019 yılları arasında yayınlanmış tüm makaleleri dahil ettik. 2020 tarihli belgeler bu çalışmadan çıkarıldı. Gunnmap ücretsiz açık web tabanlı uygulama, küresel araştırma verimliliğini görselleştirmek için kullanıldı. Verilerin bilimsel uygunluğunu belirlemek için Vos-viewer 2019 programı kullanılmıştır.

Bulgular: Toplam 2212 belgeye ulaştık, bu makalelerin% 95,6'sı İngilizce yazılmıştır ve belgelerin % 64,4'ü orijinal makalelerdir. Vajinismus ve CİB ile ilgili makaleler 1995'lerden itibaren arttı, en üretken yıl 2019'du. Genital kozmetik ve estetikte en verimli ülke Amerika Birleşik Devletleri (ABD), en verimli üniversite British Columbia Üniversitesi idi. En üretken yazar Goldstein I idi.

Sonuç: Vajinismus ve CİB ile ilgili çalışmalar son on yılda artmıştır ve noninvaziv psikiyatrik müdahalelerin popüler olduğu görülmektedir. Analizimiz vajinismus ve CİB'nu kapsayan makaleler için bir kimlik sağlayıcıdır.
