Resumo

Contexto: O rápido progresso no conhecimento e na tecnologia médica está a impulsionar mudanças nos cuidados de saúde, exigindo abordagens inovadoras para a disseminação de informação. A Biblioteca Médica e a Ciência da Informação (MLIS) desempenham um papel vital no fornecimento de acesso a fontes de informação e na condução de programas de literacia. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar os resultados científicos do MLIS de 1990 a 2022 para descobrir temas subjacentes e contributos que moldam a disciplina.
Métodos: O presente estudo utilizou um método descritivo transversal com uma abordagem cienciométrica. Os dados foram recolhidos na Web of Science em setembro de 2024. A análise foi realizada com recurso ao software Excel versão 2019 e ao software Vosviewer 1.6. Nesta visualização, o tamanho dos círculos representa o peso com base na co-ocorrência de sujeitos, com um comprimento máximo de 30. O método de normalização de dados utilizado para a visualização da rede foi o Min. força e força de associação.
Resultados: Na área MLIS, os EUA lideraram a produção científica e o Irão ficou em sexto lugar. Tanya P. Bardin e Daniel Eric Burgard foram os principais escritores. O mapa cienciométrico apresentou 5 clusters, com foco nas tarefas profissionais, tecnologia, natureza do utilizador, questões organizacionais e campos relacionados com as citações.
Conclusões: A análise da literatura do MLIS de 1990 a 2022 demonstra um campo em rápida expansão e altamente especializado, com o pico de produção a ocorrer em 2008. As principais áreas de investigação abrangem a Ciência da Informação, a Biblioteconomia e os Serviços de Ciências da Saúde. O mapeamento cienciométrico revela clusters distintos com foco em tarefas profissionais, tecnologia e utilização da Internet, serviços orientados para o utilizador, questões organizacionais e campos relacionados com as citações. Estas descobertas sublinham o papel fundamental dos profissionais de MLIS no apoio aos cuidados de saúde. No entanto, persistem desafios na diversidade metodológica, na colaboração internacional e na transparência da investigação. Enfrentar estes desafios é crucial para garantir que o MLIS continua a exercer uma influência significativa no futuro dos cuidados de saúde.
