ANALYTICAL REVIEW OF STUDIES ON REHABILITATION AND REHABILITATION POTENTIAL IN MODERN MEDICAL-PSYCHOLOGICAL PUBLICATIONS

Abstract

Abstract. Considering research on rehabilitation and rehabilitation potential in modern medical and psychological literature from the leading databases reduces subjectivity when analyzing the relevance of scientific issues. The results obtained will allow predicting the further advancement of scientific knowledge on rehabilitation and rehabilitation potential. Materials and methods. The criterion for inclusion in the review was scientific data published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and lack of repetition of data from the same scientific papers by the same authors. Results. When searching for the word “rehabilitation” over the past 10 years, 3685 works were found in the Web of Science database, and 36332 publications were found in the eLibrary national database. A search for the keyword “rehabilitation potential” in the Web of Science database using inclusion/exclusion criteria revealed 3569 published works while a comparable search query in the domestic database identified 786 works. When comparing the Web of Science and eLibrary databases, similarities and differences were revealed in relation to the use of the concepts of “rehabilitation” and “rehabilitation potential”. The “Neurology” direction occupies a leading position in both databases, “Rehabilitation” as a separate direction is mostly studied abroad, and psychological assistance closes the top three in the Web of Science database. Mental health rehabilitation issues are more commonly presented in eLibrary. Conclusion. The development and publication of studies on rehabilitation potential is more active when it comes to patient-oriented or non-medical models of rehabilitation. Verification of this assumption may be the subject of further research.
