“…It was determined that the three countries that published the most on child mental health were the USA (n=1821), England (n=959) and Australia (n=479). Although there is no bibliometric analysis study on child mental health publications in the literature, the USA ranks first in bibliometric analysis studies on different topics related to mental health, similar to our study (Gutman et al, 2022;Ram, 2018;Tran et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 2017). The fact that all of the top three countries are at a high level of economic development according to the World Bank data (https://data.worldbank.org/country) suggests that the resources and incentives they may have allocated for scientific publications may be related to the high number of publications.…”

Child mental health is also an important issue that attracts the attention of the scientific world and is the subject of scientific publications. In this study, it is aimed to reveal the status of scientific publications on child mental health between 2000-2022 and Turkey's contribution to these publications by using the bibliometric analysis method. Materials and Methods: In the study, the Scopus database was analysed using bibliometric data analysis technique. As a keyword, the word “child mental health” in English was used in the title section. All studies published up to the study day were included, without time constraints. The study is limited to articles only. In addition, articles published in a place other than the journal were excluded from the study. In the study, 7960 studies were reached with keywords at the beginning. 6914 of them were carried out in the 2000s. In the study, analyses were made on these 5015 research articles. The languages of the related articles are English (n=4782), German (n=64) and Spanish (n=49), respectively, in terms of frequency. There were 52 articles contributed from Turkey and it was in the nineteenth place. According to the productivity criteria, when compared to the 2000s, publications on child mental health have increased approximately five times in the 2020s. However, considering the contribution of our country in these publications, there is a need to increase the number of publications scanned in international and important indexes on the subject.

Introduction In recent years, there has been a sustained increase in the prevalence of child and adolescent mental health diagnoses, which are associated with difficulties in the emotional, social, family and occupational spheres. Evidence supports the need for interdisciplinary and timely treatment to address these problems. Given the long history of occupational therapy in this field, it is essential to examine the evidence supporting its work. Objective To characterize academic publications on occupational therapy in disciplinary journals related to child and adolescent mental health. Method A bibliometric analysis with an exploratory-descriptive scope was conducted. Searches were performed in the SCOPUS and Web of Science databases, along with manual searches in disciplinary journals in Spanish and Portuguese. A total of 269 articles published between 1985 and 2022 were selected and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Results An increase in the number of publications was observed starting from 1985 t, with exponential growth since 2010. The thematic focus is on childhood, associated with diagnoses of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder. The most commonly used disciplinary models are Sensory Integration, Models of Human Occupation, and the Canadian Model. Quantitative studies with a descriptive scope predominate. Conclusion Despite the importance of the topic for occupational therapy, the publications are scarce, focused, and have low levels of evidence. The need to promote more disciplinary research that addresses the diversity of approaches and areas of work is emphasized. It is crucial to encourage analytical and experimental studies to raise the levels of evidence in addressing child and adolescent mental health.

Resumen Introducción En los últimos años se ha observado un aumento sostenido en la prevalencia de diagnósticos de salud mental infantojuvenil, los cuales se asocian a dificultades en los ámbitos emocional, social, familiar y ocupacional. La evidencia respalda la necesidad de un tratamiento interdisciplinario y oportuno para abordar estas problemáticas. Dada la larga historia de la terapia ocupacional en este campo, es esencial examinar la evidencia que respalda su trabajo. Objetivo Caracterizar las publicaciones académicas de terapia ocupacional en revistas disciplinares referentes a la salud mental infantojuvenil. Método Análisis bibliométrico con alcance exploratorio-descriptivo. Se realiza una búsqueda avanzada en bases de datos SCOPUS y Web of Science, y búsqueda manual en revistas disciplinares en español y portugués. Se seleccionaron 269 artículos publicados entre los años 1985 y 2022, los cuales fueron analizados mediante SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). Resultados Hay un aumento de publicaciones desde 1985 a la fecha, con un crecimiento exponencial desde el año 2010. Existe una focalización temática en la niñez, asociada a diagnósticos de Trastorno del Espectro Autista y Trastorno de Déficit de Atención/Hiperactividad. Los modelos disciplinares más utilizados son la Integración Sensorial, el Modelo de la Ocupación Humana el Modelo Canadiense. Predominan los estudios de tipo cuantitativo y de alcance descriptivo. Conclusión A pesar de la importancia del tema para la terapia ocupacional, las publicaciones son escasas, focalizadas y con bajos niveles de evidencia. Se enfatiza la necesidad de impulsar mayor investigación disciplinar que aborde la diversidad de enfoques y de ámbitos de trabajo. Es crucial fomentar estudios analíticos y experimentales para elevar los niveles de evidencia en el abordaje de la salud mental infantojuvenil.
