Resumen
SANZ-LORENTE, María y GUARDIOLA-WANDEN-BERGHE, Rocío. European scientific production on home health care indexed in the Scopus bibliographic database. Hosp. domic. [online]. 2023, vol.7, n.4, pp.179-194. Epub 25-Dic-2023. ISSN 2530-5115. https://dx.doi.org/10.22585/hospdomic.v7i4.205.
Objective:
To analize by means of bibliometric technics the European scientific production on home health care (HaD) indexed in Scopus bibliographical database.
Method:
Cross-sectional descriptive study. Data were obtained from Scopus database. The term “Home Care” was used to interrogate the fields of title, abstract and keywords. Search final date September 2023.
Results:
A total of 90830 references were obtained worldwide. 27251 (30%) of the references had European affiliation. The annual relation of the number of publications showed a direct linear regression model (R2 = 0,6; p < 0,001). The original article was the most frequent documentary typology founded with 20225 (74.2%) references. The productivity index was 4.3 and the Burton-Kebler index was 53.5 years with a máximum of 110 and a mínimum of 0 years. The Price index was 4.6%. Articles published in 32 different languages were identified being English the predominant language in publications on HaD with 22391 (82.2%) works.
Conclusions:
A progressive, non-exponential increase in scientific production on HaD was observed with the original article being the main documentary typology, although obsolescence showed results higher than expected. There was a predominance of the English language and Anglo-Saxon affiliation. Topics were in line with the area of health sciences and the field of HaD.
