Objetivo Llevamos a cabo una revisión sistemática para conocer las aplicaciones del análisis de redes sociales (ARS) en la investigación en salud pública (ISP).
Materiales y Métodos Las bases de datos utilizadas son PubMed, MEDLINE y Academic Search Complete. Se procesaron 1,151 artículos, de los cuales 361 cumplieron los criterios de inclusión y constituyen la muestra final.
Resultados El perfil genérico de los estudios evaluados es de carácter cuantitativo (84,5%), transversal (64,5%) y emplean procedimientos de la estadística convencional para testar hipótesis (68,9%). Destacan los estudios que examinan el papel de las redes como factor de riesgo o protección de la salud (38%), las investigaciones epidemiológicas (34,6%) y los trabajos que analizan sistemas que proporcionan atención socio-sanitaria (24,4%).
Conclusiones Se identifican notables diferencias entre las investigaciones a nivel egocéntrico y sociocéntrico. Discutimos los resultados en orden a que la ISP extraiga el máximo potencial de los métodos de ARS.
Objective A systematic review was conducted to know the contributions of social network analysis (SNA) to public health research (PHR).
Materials and Methods The databases analyzed were Academic Search Complete, PubMed and MEDLINE. A total of 1 151 articles were processed, of which 361 met the inclusion criteria and make up the final sample.
Results The generic profiles of assessed papers are quantitative (84.5%) and cross-sectional (64.5%), and use conventional statistical procedures to test hypotheses (68.9%). Studies examining the role of networks as a risk factor or health protection (38%), epidemiological research (34.6%), and work analyzing systems that provide social and health care (24.4%) are noteworthy.
Conclusions Remarkable differences among research were identified at the egocentric and sociocentric levels of analysis. Results are discussed in order to increase the effectiveness of PHR through SNA methods.
