Premature baby care: a bibliometric visualization and analysis study
Abstract
The research employed a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis, using tools such as VOSviewer, Publish or Perish (PoP), and Microsoft Excel. Data were collected from the Scopus database using the keywords premature, baby,and care. Results : A total of 6,102 documents on premature baby care were identified within the Scopus database, covering publications from 1934 to 2022. Publication frequency shows an upward trend, peaking in 2022. Over the past decade, 335 articles in the nursing field have been published on this topic. The United States ranks highest globally, contributing 28.5% of publications. L.M. Howard is the leading author, with the article “Perinatal mental health: a review of progress and challenges” cited 242 times. Journal of Neonatal Nursing emerges as the most productive journal, with 28 publications, while the University of Technology Sydney ranks as the leading institution with 17 publications. Keywords such as premature, baby," and care remain the most studied. Conclusion: Research on premature baby care continues to grow. The keyword co-occurrence network map identifies five clusters, with "neonatal intensive care" prominently featured across four networks. Future studies should consider expanding bibliometric analyses to other databases for more comprehensive insights.
