Abstract
Background
The ERAS protocol consists of evidence-based interventions designed to accelerate postoperative recovery. Given their active role in surgical care, nurses play a crucial part in the adoption and implementation of this protocol, thereby positively influencing patient outcomes.
Aim
This bibliometric study provides a comprehensive and integrative review of global literature on the use of the postsurgical Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol in nursing research.
Design
Bibliometric analysis.
Methods
Data were retrieved from the Web of Science and Scopus databases on December 31, 2024. No time restrictions were applied, and all available records up to the search date were included. Analysis was conducted using the Biblioshiny application within the Bibliometrix R package.
Results
The search identified 201 publications in Web of Science (first in 2001) and 201 in Scopus (first in 1979). In Web of Science, the most productive country was the United States, the leading institution was Linköping University, the most prolific author was A. Broström, and the most cited article (94 citations) was Silver JK’s 2015 study on cancer prehabilitation. The most frequent keywords were “enhanced recovery,” “surgery,” and “care.” In Scopus, China was the most productive country, The University of Texas was the leading institution, J. Burch was the most prolific author, and Aasa A.’s 2013 study (71 citations) on preoperative information ranked highest.
Conclusion
This study serves as a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of ERAS in nursing and provides a foundational reference for future research.
ERAS方案包括旨在加速术后恢复的循证干预措施。鉴于护士在外科护理中的积极作用,护士在采用和实施该方案方面发挥着至关重要的作用,从而对患者的预后产生积极影响。目的:本文献计量学研究对全球关于在护理研究中使用手术后增强恢复(ERAS)方案的文献进行了全面和综合的回顾。DesignBibliometric分析。方法数据于2024年12月31日从Web of Science和Scopus数据库中检索。没有时间限制,并且包括截至搜索日期的所有可用记录。使用Bibliometrix R包中的Biblioshiny应用程序进行分析。结果检索到Web of Science(2001年首次检索)和Scopus(1979年首次检索)中的201篇论文。在Web of Science中,生产力最高的国家是美国,领先的机构是Linköping大学,最多产的作者是A. Broström,被引用最多的文章(94次引用)是Silver JK 2015年关于癌症预防的研究。最常见的关键词是“增强恢复”、“手术”和“护理”。在Scopus中,中国是产出最多的国家,德克萨斯大学(University of Texas)是领先的机构,J. Burch是产出最多的作者,Aasa A 2013年关于术前信息的研究(71次引用)排名最高。结论本研究为了解ERAS在护理中的演变提供了宝贵的资源,并为今后的研究提供了基础参考。
期刊介绍:
The objective of this new online journal is to serve as a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed source of information related to the administrative, economic, operational, safety, and quality aspects of the ambulatory and in-patient operating room and interventional procedural processes. The journal will provide high-quality information and research findings on operational and system-based approaches to ensure safe, coordinated, and high-value periprocedural care. With the current focus on value in health care it is essential that there is a venue for researchers to publish articles on quality improvement process initiatives, process flow modeling, information management, efficient design, cost improvement, use of novel technologies, and management.
