Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to examine the bibliographic characteristics of publications on refugees in the nursing field.
Design: A bibliometric analysis design was adopted for the study.
Sample: Included the articles scanned in the Web of Science Core Collection database. The study excluded the other databases and gray literature.
Measurements: The 2120 articles published between 1980 and 2024 that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed using Bibliometrix in RStudio, VOSviewer, and Microsoft Excel software.
Results: The majority of publications were published in 2024. The United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia have the highest publications, citations, and international cooperation. Additionally, "mental health" is one of the most frequently used keywords in studies.
Conclusions: The increased migration rates and the growing need for healthcare for refugees underscore the importance of investing in nursing research within this field. Nurses and researchers should establish partnerships and share best practices with leading countries.
期刊介绍:
Public Health Nursing publishes empirical research reports, program evaluations, and case reports focused on populations at risk across the lifespan. The journal also prints articles related to developments in practice, education of public health nurses, theory development, methodological innovations, legal, ethical, and public policy issues in public health, and the history of public health nursing throughout the world. While the primary readership of the Journal is North American, the journal is expanding its mission to address global public health concerns of interest to nurses.
