Abstract

Resumen Objetivo: analizar la producción científica de una disciplina aplicada como la Enfermería ante la emergencia de la pandemia de coronavirus Covid-19. Método: Estudio bibliométrico sobre los artículos publicados por enfermeras en torno a la pandemia de coronavirus durante los tres primeros meses desde la declaración de alerta sanitaria internacional. Resultados principales: Se recuperaron 288 documentos, el 90 % publicados en revistas de Enfermería. Aumenta la producción la cuarta semana de marzo y abril, concentrándose más de la mitad en tres países (Estados Unidos, Reino Unido y China). Se publicaron las tres cuartas partes en inglés. Mayoritariamente fueron artículos de opinión (68,75 %). Se abordan principalmente problemas psico-sociales de los profesionales y de organización de los servicios. Conclusión principal: la Enfermería ha seguido la pauta esperable en una disciplina aplicada en cuanto a la producción de conocimiento sobre la pandemia de Covid-19, utilizando simultáneamente los canales de la experiencia y de la ciencia, con una limitada producción investigadora que crece exponencialmente conforme avanza la epidemia.

A Bibliometric Analysis of COVID-19 Research Activity: A Call for Increased Output

Mohamad Chahrour, Sahar Assi, Michael Bejjani … (2020)

Background: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has impacted many countries across all inhabited continents, and is now considered a global pandemic, due to its high rate of infectivity. Research related to this disease is pivotal for assessing pathogenic characteristics and formulating therapeutic strategies. The aim of this paper is to explore the activity and trends of COVID-19 research since its outbreak in December 2019. Methods: We explored the PubMed database and the World Health Organization (WHO) database for publications pertaining to COVID-19 since December 2019 up until March 18, 2020. Only relevant observational and interventional studies were included in our study. Data on COVID-19 incidence were extracted from the WHO situation reports. Research output was assessed with respect to gross domestic product (GDP) and population of each country. Results: Only 564 publications met our inclusion criteria. These articles came from 39 different countries, constituting 24% of all affected countries. China produced the greatest number of publications with 377 publications (67%). With respect to continental research activity, Asian countries had the highest research activity with 434 original publications (77%). In terms of publications per million persons (PPMPs), Singapore had the highest number of publications with 1.069 PPMPs. In terms of publications per billion-dollar GDP, Mauritius ranked first with 0.075. Conclusion: COVID-19 is a major disease that has impacted international public health on a global level. Observational studies and therapeutic trials pertaining to COVID-19 are essential for assessing pathogenic characteristics and developing novel treatment options.
