LEADERSHIP AND ELDERLY CAREGIVERS IN LTC’s: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS

Miriam Teresa Etges

Resumo


We conducted a bibliometric analysis on leadership research in formal caregivers within geriatric environments, examining the association between these professionals and leadership. Our study aimed to identify trends and indicators by examining articles published on the Web of Science (WoS) platform from 1990 to 2022. Data from the WoS platform were collected and analyzed using Boolean operators to identify articles that met the following criteria: publication before 2022 and focus on the relationship between "leadership", "formal caregiver" and "elderly", "elderly", or "patients". The investigations primarily focused on nursing, with 53% of the publications originating from the administrative sciences. North American research accounts for 38% of the scientific production in this field. The relationship between leadership and elderly caregivers has received little attention from a managerial perspective. Based on a content analysis of recent publications, potential research opportunities in this field are presented, providing clues for a future investigation agenda.
