Title
The trend of research on oral hygiene in intubated patient based on bibliometric analysis
Subject
bibliometric; intubated patient; oral hygiene; suction toothbrush
Description
Background: ICU patients with critical conditions are generally intubated due
to their inability to breathe independently. These patients require assistance
from nurses in meeting their basic needs, one of which is oral hygiene. ICU
nurses use several protocols when doing oral hygiene in intubated patients.
Purpose: This study was conducted to reveal the trend of research on oral
hygiene in intubated patients in the last two decades through bibliometric
analysis.
Methods: This study is a quantitative research. The research publications
were collected from the Scopus and PubMed databases through the Publish
or Perish application. Then, for further analysis, the VOSViewer application
was used to create visualization maps of co-occurring terms that include the
research themes.
Results: There were a total of 88 publications from two databases in the last
two decades that discussed oral hygiene in intubated patients. Visualization
in VOSViewer illustrates five main clusters on oral hygiene-intubated
patients. Most of the publication themes were oral hygiene protocols and the
relationship between the oral hygiene and VAP incidence. However, suction
toothbrush as one of the oral hygiene protocol did not appear in the co-
occurring terms in the first search; therefore, the researchers conducted a
separate search about this term.
Conclusion: Based on the analysis, the most common themes used are
oral hygiene protocols and the relationship between oral hygiene and VAP
in the last two decades. However, research on suction toothbrush as one
of the protocols is still lacking, so it can be used as a novelty in conducting
further research.
