Abstract

Burnout is a global problem in service-originated societies, especially among nurses in the healthcare setting. Which nations and authors play a prestigious role in burnout and nursing papers still remain unknown. The aim of this study was to report (i) the top ten author collaboration clusters and (ii) most-cited authors and nations shown on Google Maps. We obtained abstracts from Pubmed Central (PMC) by searching the keywords "nurse and burnout" [All Fields]. A total of 561 articles were retrieved from 2013 to 2017. The AWS based on the Rasch rating scale model (RSM) was applied for quantifying coauthor contributions. The number of citations on publications was collected from PMC for computing metrics in comparison author clusters separated by social network analysis (SNA). Visual dashboards were shown on Google Maps. We found that (i) the most cited authors are Thomas Bodenheimer from the US with a single article (PMID= 25384822 cited 114 times, AIF=113); (ii) Differences in each index (p<0.05) significantly existed among author clusters; (iii) the most number of cited article is the one authored by Thomas Bodenheimer (PMID= 25384822); (iv)the top three counties/areas based on x-index are from the US (9.13), China (6.10), and Spain (5.74). The AWS can be applied to scientific disciplines for understanding the most cited authors and nations on nursing and burnout topics. The visual representations on Google Maps are promising and worth further reinvestigating again in the future.
