  • Malaysian Disaster Medicine Research: A Bibliographic Study of Publication Trends

  • Mohd Syafwan Bin Adnan, Alexander Hart, Attila J. Hertelendy, Derrick Tin, Sally-Mae Abelanes, Fadi Issa, Gregory R. Ciottone

    Prehospital and Disaster Medicine / Volume 37 / Issue 6 / December 2022

  • Introduction:

    Despite the increasing risks and complexity of disasters, education for Malaysian health care providers in this domain is limited. This study aims to assess scholarly publications by Malaysian scholars on Disaster Medicine (DM)-related topics.

    Methodology:

    An electronic search of five selected journals from 1991 through 2021 utilizing multiple keywords relevant to DM was conducted for review and analysis.

    Results:

    A total of 154 articles were included for analysis. The mean number of publications per year from 1991 through 2021 was 5.1 publications. Short reports were the most common research type (53.2%), followed by original research (32.4%) and case reports (12.3%). Mean citations among the included articles were 12.4 citations. Most author collaborations were within the same agency or institution, and there was no correlation between the type of collaboration and the number of citations (P = .942). While a few clusters of scholars could build a strong network across institutions, most research currently conducted in DM was within small, isolated clusters.

    Conclusion:

    Disaster Medicine in Malaysia is a growing medical subspecialty with a significant recent surge in research activity, likely due to the SARS-CoV-2/coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic. Since most publications in DM have been on infectious diseases, the need to expand DM-related research on other topics is essential.

  • Summary

    This chapter discusses research methods and findings in the context of the broader spectrum of processes involved in disasters. The discussion of the state of the art focuses on three aspects of disaster research: methodology, vulnerability, and estimates of morbidity and mortality. The study of disasters can occur in many different physical and temporal contexts. Disaster research, as with most other types of research, utilizes both qualitative and quantitative data. Surveys of individuals, healthcare providers, and healthcare organizations are heavily utilized in disaster epidemiology to obtain quantitative data about the health status of a population and possible associations between disaster exposure and health outcomes. The most commonly mentioned dimensions of vulnerability in disaster research are physical, economic, political, social, and psychological. The discussion of disaster morbidity and mortality describes how these estimates are derived, as well as the many factors that can influence their accuracy and introduce variability across studies.
