Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Research on patient delay shows significant growth, with the USA leading in publications. Future work should focus on strengthening international and institutional collaboration to advance understanding of patient delay.
Area Of Science
- Bibliometric analysis of global health research.
Background
- Patient delay in seeking medical care is a critical factor influencing health outcomes.
- Understanding the research landscape of patient delay is essential for identifying trends and future directions.
Purpose Of The Study
- To analyze the global scientific output on patient delay from 2000 to 2023.
- To identify research hotspots, frontiers, and collaboration patterns in patient delay research.
Main Methods
- Bibliometric analysis of 721 publications from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC).
- Utilized CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix Online Analysis Platform for data analysis.
- Examined publications, countries, institutions, authors, journals, and keywords.
Main Results
- Global publications on patient delay increased by 220% from 2000 to 2023.
- The USA and University of California San Francisco were the most productive country and institution.
- "Patient Delay", "Prehospital Delay", "Symptoms", and "Diagnosis" emerged as key research themes.
Conclusions
- Significant growth in patient delay research observed, but limited international collaboration exists.
- Strengthening global and institutional cooperation is recommended for future research.
- Identified research hotspots and frontiers provide directions for advancing patient delay studies.

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

With an increase in the aging population worldwide, it is crucial to train nurses from all healthcare settings to identify approaches that enable older adults to live independently. Nurses also provide essential care and education to manage multiple chronic conditions and ensure the elderly in long-term care receive optimal care and...
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...
The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:
As a result of their tendency to use...
