BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF RESEARCH ON "GAMIFICATION IN NURSING" VIA VISUAL MAPPING TECHNIQUE
Keywords:
Nursing, gamification, health sciences, visual mapping, bibliometric analysisAbstract
This research employs bibliometric analysis and visual mapping techniques to evaluate academic studies on "gamification in nursing" within the health sciences literature. Gamification utilizes game elements in non-game contexts to motivate individuals, enhance interaction, and promote behavioral changes. This strategy has been increasingly adopted in the health sector, particularly in nursing, demonstrating various positive outcomes for both healthcare professionals and patients. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric review of gamification in nursing, exploring its integration into healthcare systems and the associated challenges. Utilizing data from the Web of Science database and analyzed with VOSviewer software, this study visualizes the trends in "gamification in nursing" research over time, identifies key research themes, and examines academic collaborations between countries. Findings indicate that the United States and Spain are at the forefront of this research area, having made substantial contributions to the literature. Co-authorship analysis reveals the most cited authors and scholars with extensive collaborations in the field. Furthermore, the study identifies frequently used keywords, highlighting the diverse applications of gamification within nursing. In conclusion, this research elucidates the current status of "gamification in nursing" in the academic literature and provides a strategic perspective for future research.
