{"title":"Access to Healthcare in Rural Communities: A Bibliometric Analysis","authors":"Ariya Natarajan, Murdoc Gould, Anjali Daniel, Rohan K Mangal, Latha Ganti","doi":"10.52965/001c.90615","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52965/001c.90615","url":null,"abstract":"Access to healthcare is defined by being able to receive regular checkups, specialist appointments, immunizations, procedures, and surgeries within a reasonable timeframe and without restrictive barriers. The Web of Science database was used to collect 4,745 articles published relating to the keywords “rural”, “access”, and “healthcare”. These articles then underwent bibliometric cataloging by country, journal, and keyword using VOSviewer 1.6.19. Between the years 2015 and 2022, the United States emerged as the predominant publisher in the field. From 2015 to 2019, the United States accounted for 47 percent of the total articles published. However, in the subsequent years of 2020 to 2022, there was a slight decline of 3 percent in the volume of U.S. publications. Australia secured the second position in terms of publications within the aforementioned timeframe of 2015 to 2022. England had the third most publications during the time between 2015 to 2022. The prevalence of articles containing the keyword “disparity” ranged between 7 percent and 12 percent throughout this period. Plus One exhibited prominence by contributing 5.025381 percent of all publications pertaining to access to rural medicine during the years 2015 to 2019 thereby establishing itself as the leading publisher in this domain. However, in 2020, the International Journal of Environment suppressed Plus One by publishing the highest number of articles related to rural healthcare. Subsequently, the BMC Health Services Research claimed the leading position in the years 2021 to 2022. An exploration of who is contributing to the discussion of access to healthcare in rural communities shows that the field and number of publications is growing, and that a focus on disparities is emerging, creating an environment surrounding rural health focused on researching equitable care.","PeriodicalId":51865,"journal":{"name":"Health Psychology Research","volume":"4 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138585687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study is to investigate the perceptions of individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorder regarding the utilization of technology and social media. The qualitative methodology used consists of an individual structured interview and the data were subjected to thematic analysis. The results show that the participants use digital tools for various activities such as work, searching for information, entertainment, and socialising. Their perceptions confirm the usefulness and easy accessibility of these tools, which enable positive changes in the organisation of daily life and social relationships. In general, it is possible to identify both positive and negative aspects of technology and social media, such as abuse and addictive behaviour, network and information overload problems, and the risk that privacy may not be guaranteed; among the positive ones, the promotion of remote sociability, speed in carrying out tasks and acquiring useful information emerge. Most of the participants express a positive perception of the possibility that digital tools can help in the field of mental health.","PeriodicalId":51865,"journal":{"name":"Health Psychology Research","volume":"8 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138585991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, the Patient Education and Counseling Journal was the journal with the most publications regarding the topic. A bibliometric analysis is a relatively novel way to frame research in a given area. It allows researchers to analyze trends in publication, and capture data from multiple disciplines.
