Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study is to analyze quantitatively the scientific literature covering nursing studies on patient safety. Method: The Web of Science database is queried in this retrospective bibliometric analysis to identify relevant publications. The study themes, contributing journals, countries, institutions, and authors were evaluated quantitatively. Thus, a total of 5470 publications concerning patient safety in nursing were included and analyzed. Findings: The number of studies conducted increased every year from 1992 to 2023. While the country whose articles receive the most citations (31072) is the United States of America (USA), Turkey is ranked as last with the lowest number of citations (581). Journal of Clinical Nursing, with 338 articles, appeared to have the highest number of publications, Chaboyer W. appeared to have the highest number of citations with a total of 1426 and 45 publications. The countries that have the strongest international cooperation for research in this field are the USA, England, Australia and China. Results: After examining the literature in the field of patient safety in nursing through bibliometric analysis, it is seen that themes such as patient safety, medication errors, nursing care, nursing, education, systematic review, quality care and leadership were emphasized as important considerations.
