Bibliometric Analysis on “Quality in Health Care”

Abstract

This study has the purpose of performing a systematic review of literature on quality in health care as a premise in quality management, oriented to patient satisfaction, favoring the service of the surgical room. The methodology adopted by this project relies on the model of text search on the web, proposed by Costa (2010), known as webibliomining. To this end, a search was made in the database of abstracts and citations of scientific literature, Scielo. The keywords applied were "peri-surgical care", "quality in nursing care", "pre-surgical visit", and "quality in surgical nursing care". The study period was from November 2018 to March 2019. Results indicated that the largest number of publications occurred in 2012, 2014, and 2016. A number of contributions and methods were found from the starting point, for example, important attributes regarding caring and the care referenced by the authors (quality in care, safety, and guarantee), biopsychosocial aspects with respect to the theoretical framework contributing as important management strategies for changes in patient care with quality. A significant aspect in the analyses collected was that scientific productions oriented to aspects of personal satisfaction of surgical patients, with regard to inherent aspects, are poorly referenced, which motivates the study so as to contribute to future researches by the scientific community.
