Resumen

El objetivo de este estudio es esclarecer la estructura y la evolución de la bibliografía existente sobre la alfabetización digital en el ámbito sanitario mediante un análisis bibliométrico, prestando especial atención a los estudios en los que participan usuarios de los servicios y pacientes. Aunque la estrategia de búsqueda incluyó términos relacionados con los usuarios de los servicios y los pacientes, el conjunto de datos resultante también abarcaba estudios en los que participaban otros grupos de población, entre ellos profesionales sanitarios y estudiantes.Una búsqueda escalonada en la base de datos Web of Science, realizada el 27 de agosto de 2025, identificó 720 publicaciones comprendidas entre 2007 y 2025. Los datos se analizaron utilizando el paquete bibliometrix y la interfaz web biblioshiny en RStudio. El análisis examinó las tendencias de publicación por año, las revistas, fuentes y autores más influyentes, las palabras clave más empleadas y los patrones de colaboración internacional. Los resultados revelaron que el Journal of Medical Internet Research fue la revista más influyente, mientras que Kayser L. y Mosch L. compartían el índice h más alto (índice h = 5).. Las tres palabras clave más frecuentes fueron telemedicina, salud digital y alfabetización digital. Los hallazgos pusieron de relieve una laguna en la literatura respecto a la alfabetización digital de los pacientes e identificaron a la telemedicina, la telesalud, la COVID-19 y la salud digital como temas de investigación actuales. Se recomienda que los estudios futuros se centren en la intersección entre alfabetización digital, salud digital y cuestiones relacionadas con los pacientes.
