Bibliometric analyses of turnover intention among nurses: implication for research and practice in China.

The aim of this study was to analyze the current status of research on nurses' turnover intention and to provide suggestions and references for promoting research on turnover intention and for promoting hospital talent development. We used the bibliometric method "turnover intention" or "intention to leave" and "nurse*" as subject terms, and 1543 articles from 2017 to 2021 were retrieved from the WoS database using VOSViewer and CiteSpace software. Article based on this descriptive statistical analysis was performed on the year of publication, region, institution, journal of publication, and cited articles. A total of 1,500 articles met the inclusion criteria. There is an overall upward trend in the number of articles published in the field of nursing in terms of turnover intention from 2017 to 2021. The United States has the highest number of publications and the highest number of institutions, while China ranks second in terms of publications, but there are no Chinese research institutions in the top 10. The top three journals in terms of the number of articles published are the Journal of nursing management, the Journal of advanced nursing, and the Journal of clinical nursing; Oman's League had the highest number of citations for their article in 2021; the most frequently occurring keywords are burnout, stress, satisfaction, model, work environment, organizational commitment, perception, predictor, mental health, and mediating role. There is a great need for further research on how to develop sound measures to tackle nurse turnover intention. The following improvements should be made, such as to enhance research institutional settings for nurses' turnover intention in China and to increase attention to nurse burnout and possible mediating influences in future studies.

Global research trends in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: a bibliometric analysis.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is the most common disease in which vertigo is the main clinical manifestation, and it has become a global medical problem, affecting a wide range of areas and seriously affecting the quality of human life. This article presents an analysis of the current characteristics of BPPV-related research and summarizes the current hot topics and trends, with the goal of inspiring future research into the prevention and treatment of BPPV, thereby improving the differential diagnosis and prevention of peripheral vertigo. A bibliometric approach was used to collect 1,219 eligible studies on BPPV from four databases-PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science-published between 1974 and 2022. The characteristics and status of the accumulated scientific output were processed using R and VOSviewer so that we could visualize any trends or hotspots. The results showed a significant increase in the annual number of publications, with an average annual growth rate of 21.58%. A possible reason for the especially pronounced peak in 2021 was an increase in the prevalence of BPPV as a result of COVID-19. The new coronavirus became a focus of research in 2021. A total of 3,876 authors (of whom 1,097 were first authors) published articles in 307 different journals; 15.7% of the articles were published in Acta Oto-Larygologica, Otology and Neurotology, and Frontiers in Neurology. Acta Oto-Laryngologica was well ahead of the other journals in terms of growth rate and number of articles published. American scholars generated the largest number of articles overall, and the USA was involved in the greatest number of international collaborations, followed by Italy and China. The themes of the research centered around three topics, namely the treatment of BPPV, its influencing factors, and diagnosis. There has been a major increase in BPPV-related research over the last 50 years, leading to an increase in related articles and rapid development of the field. Key directions for future research include the improvement of individualized treatment for residual symptoms after initial treatment of BPPV among the elderly; effective control of comorbidities such as osteoporosis; and secondary inner ear disease, such as Ménière's disease.

Reporting quality of randomized controlled trials of angina pectoris with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine interventions: a cross-sectional study

Background and objectiveIntegrated traditional Chinese and western medicine (ITCWM), as a representative type of complex intervention, is commonly used for the treatment of angina pectoris (AP) in clinical practice. However, it is unclear whether the details of ITCWM interventions, such as rationale for selection and design, implementation and potential interactions for different therapies, were adequately reported. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the reporting characteristics and quality in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of AP with ITCWM interventions.MethodsThrough a search of 7 electronic databases, we identified RCTs of AP with ITCWM interventions published in both English and Chinese from 1st Jan 2017 to 6th Aug 2022. The general characteristics of included studies were summarized, further, the quality of reporting was assessed based on three Checklists, including the CONSORT with 36 items (except for one item 1b about abstract), the CONSORT for abstracts (17 items), and a self-designed ITCWM-related checklist (21 items covering rationale and details of interventions, outcome assessment and analysis). The quality of RCTs published in English and Chinese, as well as journals and dissertations were also compared.ResultsA total of 451 eligible RCTs were included. For the reporting compliance, the mean score (95% Confidence Interval) of the CONSORT (72 scores in total), CONSORT for abstract (34 scores in total), and ITCWM-related (42 scores in total) checklists was 27.82 (27.44–28.19), 14.17 (13.98–14.37) and 21.06 (20.69–21.43), respectively. More than half items were evaluated as poor quality (reporting rate < 50%) among each Checklist. Moreover, the reporting quality of publications in English journals was higher than that in Chinese journals in terms of the CONSORT items. The reporting of published dissertations was better than that in journal publications regarding both the CONSORT and ITCWM-specific items.ConclusionAlthough the CONSORT appears to have enhanced the reporting of RCTs in AP, the quality of ITCWM specifics is variable and in need of improvement. Reporting guideline of the ITCWM recommendations should be developed thus to improve their quality.

Tracing the development of English for Specific Purposes over four decades (1980–2019): A bibliometric analysis

As the most important journal for ESP research, The ESP Journal/English for Specific Purposes (ESPJ) is now more than 40 years old, having been launched in 1980. With source data from 705 articles published between 1980 and 2019 in ESPJ, we set out to trace the development of the journal in terms of the most frequently explored topics, the most highly cited ESPJ articles and the references of ESPJ articles, plus the changes in contributors with regard to countries/regions. The topic analyses highlight two broad trends in ESPJ over four decades. The first trend is the significantly increased focus on the analyses of target language varieties, which has grown in both research scope and depth. The second trend appears to be a shift from the coverage of a wide range of teaching issues in the 1980s to the primacy of writing and literacy since the 2000s. Given that the ability to use the target language variety to communicate effectively in writing is a main objective for the majority of ESP learners, ESPJ has been playing a leading role in the field by focusing more on issues central to this aspect of ESP teaching.

Bibliometric trends of geopolymer research in Sub-Saharan Africa

In recent years, geopolymers have been widely utilized as a potential alternative to ordinary Portland cement (OPC) to address issues related to CO2 emissions and solid waste management. Unlike OPC, the mix design of geopolymers involves different parameters such as aluminosilicate precursors, alkaline activators, curing conditions, silica/alumina ratio, and liquid/binder ratio, to achieve satisfactory mechanical and structural properties. However, little is known about the trends and development of geopolymer research in Sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, this study aims to examine the bibliometric status quo to understand the evolution and progress of geopolymer research in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) in the last 10 years. Scopus database and VOSviewer software were used for bibliometric data retrieval and network visualization. A total of 251 publications were retrieved from Scopus and showed steady growth from 2012 to 2022. It is found that the Construction and Building Materials journal (impact factor of 7.693 and h-index of 198) is the leading publication source having 41 publications and 1488 citations. The top journals in terms of average citation per publication are Ceramics International (n = 53.22), Construction and Building Materials (n = 36.29), and Cement and Concrete Composites (n = 36.2). Keywords with the highest occurrences are geopolymers, inorganic polymers, and compressive strength. Authors with the highest number of publications are Elie Kamseu (n = 56), Cyriaque Rodrigue Kaze (n = 37), and Herve Kouamo Tchakoute (n = 34) whilst those with the highest average citation per publication are Antoine Elimbi (n = 68.5), Patrick Lemougna (n = 44.36), and Uphie Chinje Melo (n = 33.4). The SSA countries with the highest number of publications are Cameroon (n = 117), Nigeria (n = 58), and South Africa (n = 44) contributing 45.45%, 22.57%, and 17.12% of the total publications, respectively. Compared to global publication trends, geopolymer research remains underexplored in SSA contributing less than 4.3% of worldwide geopolymer publications. Therefore, this bibliometric study provides insights into the scientific agenda and evolution status of geopolymer research in SSA to foster and identify future collaborative research areas and help address CO2 emissions and solid waste management concerns in the built environment which is in line with circularity and sustainable development goals number 9, 11, 12, and 13.

A bibliometric and visualized research on global trends of immune checkpoint inhibitors related complications in melanoma, 2011-2021.

Melanoma is a malignant tumor that originates from the canceration of melanocytes with a high rate of invasiveness and lethality. Immune escape has been regarded as an important mechanism for tumor development, while the treatment of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is beneficial in restoring and enhancing the body's anti-tumor immune response to kill tumor cells. To date, ICIs therapy has achieved remarkable efficacy in treating melanoma patients. Despite the significant clinical benefits of ICIs, multiple complications such as rashes, thyroiditis, and colitis occur in melanoma patients. In this study, we aim to explore the development process and trends in the field of ICIs-related complications in melanoma, analyze current hot topics, and predict future research directions. We screened the most relevant literatures on ICIs-related complications in melanoma from 2011 to 2021 in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Using VOSviewer, CiteSpace and R language packages, we analyzed the research trends in this field. A total of 1,087 articles were screened, and the USA had the highest number of publications (publications = 454, citations = 60,483), followed by Germany (publications = 155, citations = 27,743) and Italy (publications = 139, citations = 27,837). The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center had the most publications, but the Angeles Clinic and Research Institute had the highest average citation rate. Lancet oncology (IF, 2021 = 54.43) was the most prominent of all journals in terms of average citation rate. Reference and keyword cluster analysis revealed that anti-tumor efficacy, adjuvant treatment, clinical response, clinical outcome, etc. were the hotspots and trends of research in recent years. This study offers a comprehensive summary and analysis of global research trends on ICIs-related complications in melanoma. Over the past decade, there has been a significant increase in the number of publications on this topic. However, the safety and benefits of retreatment after the recovery of ICIs-related complications remain unknown. Therefore,the establishment of related prediction models, as well as the immunotherapy of melanoma with ICIs in combination with other adjuvant therapies, are future research hotspots.

A bibliometric and visualized study on global trends of breast augmentation complications, 2011-2021.

Women undergo breast augmentation surgery for a variety of reasons, but surgical complications can seriously affect patient outcomes and quality of life, making it a hot research topic. Although a large body of literature exists in this field, a lack of systemic generalization hinders the ability to guide clinical practice. We aimed to identify the current research hotspots and common surgical approaches of breast augmentation and to predict future research hotspots by analyzing the literature of the past 10 years. All relevant literature on breast augmentation complications were screened in the Web of Science (WoS) platform from 2011 to 2021. We analyzed the research within this field using the software programs VOSviewer and CiteSpace. In total, 2,798 publications were selected. The United States ranked first in the world (1,173 articles), followed by Italy (243 articles), and the United Kingdom (208 articles). Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center was the institution with the most publications, but the academic achievements of Harvard were the most recognized. Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery was the most prominent of all journals in terms of both the number and quality of the articles published. Albornoz was the hub author in the co-citation network. Keyword cluster analysis showed that capsular contracture, breast cancer, and postoperative nausea, among others, were the hotspots and trends of research in recent years. This study comprehensively summarized and analyzed the research trends of breast augmentation complications worldwide. Capsular contracture and postoperative nausea are current research hotspots. Periareolar incision and the breast crease incision are the most common incision approaches. Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a future research hotspot.

Public–Private Partnerships in Urban Regeneration Projects: A Review

With the changing paradigm of the State’s functions and the increasing private sector participation in urban planning, public–private partnership (PPP) arrangements gain prominence in the development of cities, whether in the construction and operation of new infrastructures or in interventions in urbanized areas. Regarding urbanized areas, urban regeneration practices constitute an important response in the face of urban degradation observed in different cities, as well as an alternative to the consumption of new land. Despite their use in different contexts, the PPP option in urban regeneration projects encounters many obstacles related to high investment risk, low financial and social return, and the numerous sources of uncertainty generated by these projects. The present work consists of a systematic literature review of papers on PPP in urban regeneration projects, seeking to identify the main research topics addressed so far and what gaps can be identified. It uses a hybrid methodology considering a systematic quantitative review, a semantic analysis, and a narrative analysis. The findings show that the literature on the topic is recent and has been increasing in recent years, with emphasis on Europe, followed by North America and Asia. The literature presents a high variety in terms of journals, authors, and institutions. As for the methodology adopted in the articles, it highlights the use of quantitative methodologies. Five main topics were found: policy, projects, governance, financial and economic issues, and management and contract issues. The topics found show the complexity of PPPs in urban regeneration projects. The gaps observed refer mainly to financial and economic issues, as well as management and contract issues.

Was wollen Sie lesen? – DEGAM-Mitgliederbefragung zum Relaunch der ZFA

BackgroundAfter the change of the publisher of the Journal of General Practice (Zeitschrift für Allgemeinmedizin, ZFA), there is an opportunity to further develop the journal according to the wishes of the readers.ObjectivesAn online survey was conducted to identify the needs and wishes of the readers in order to guide the further development of the journal in terms of content and concept.Materials and methodsA self-developed questionnaire was used to survey reading behavior and the importance of individual sections for readers. Open-ended questions were asked to identify aspects of the magazine that readers like and to make suggestions for improvement. In addition, interest in digital offerings as well as information on occupation and sociodemographic data were collected.ResultsThe readership of the ZFA is diverse, with GPs practicing in practice predominating. Many readers read only part of the journal, although almost all sections are considered important. Guideline articles and study reviews are perceived as particularly important. Practical relevance and evidence basing are valued. Desired improvements include more practical relevance and an updated layout. In terms of digital development, podcasts and e‑mail reminders meet with the greatest interest. Just under half of respondents would forgo a print version for an improved online edition.ConclusionsFormats for preparing scientific findings for practical use should be continued and expanded. The practical relevance could be further improved by new sections (best practice examples, case reports) as well as by more practical relevance in original papers. With an improved online offering, more sustainability could be achieved in the future by reducing the number of print issues.
