Περίληψη: Purpose: The purpose of this analysis was to systematically map the intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and collaborative patterns of research in the field of deep-breathing exercises (DBEs).
Design: A comprehensive bibliometric analysis combined with Latent Dirichlet Allocation-based topic modeling was conducted using publications retrieved from Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed.
Methods: A total of 2,017 publications published between 1940 and 2024 were included. Bibliometric indicators were used to examine publication trends, leading journals, authors, countries, and collaboration networks, while Latent Dirichlet Allocation was applied to identify dominant research themes.
Findings: The annual number of publications increased steadily over time, with a marked rise after 2011 and a peak observed in 2020. The most productive countries were the United States, Italy, and Germany, while the leading journals included Chest and The Annals of Thoracic Surgery. Collaboration analyses revealed limited international and interinstitutional research networks. Topic modeling identified three major thematic clusters: (1) education and training-focused DBE interventions, (2) application of DBE following cardiac and thoracic surgery, and (3) postoperative complication prevention and rehabilitation.
Conclusion: This bibliometric and topic modeling analysis provides a structured overview of the intellectual organization and thematic evolution of DBE research in surgical and perioperative care. Rather than evaluating clinical effectiveness, the findings highlight prevailing research priorities, collaboration gaps, and underexplored areas. These insights may support perianesthesia nursing by informing future research agendas, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration, and guiding the strategic development of DBE-related studies.
