Content analysis (CA) is an investigative research tool used in healthcare studies to identify imminent challenges while providing lead time for preparedness measures. The objective of this study is to report on the challenges confronting the global healthcare industry.
This study used the conventional CA "bottom-up" approach to a quantitative data. CA is a research technique that uses the qualitative research method and word counts to evaluate communication outcomes. A group of executive master's in business administration (EMBA) and medical students championed the study. Using 13 periodicals as the data sources, researchers conducted online keyword searches for all articles, titles, and abstracts containing the word "healthcare". The collected data was gathered from five international, four Middle Eastern, and four Lebanese periodicals from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021.
CA results indicate remarkable domination of keywords "COVID-19 health impact" as a major worldwide theme. Significant differences were noticeable among subcategories but remained related to COVID-19 in particular, social responsibilities, and research and development. Topics such as comorbid illnesses, social responsibility, healthcare logistics, and the well-being of healthcare service providers were among the least covered topics.
Our findings emphasize the importance of global media and their coverage of healthcare issues on the types of healthcare topics ( , vaccines, drugs…) covered in the Lebanese periodicals in our study. Thus, global healthcare media are the main source for Lebanese periodicals reporting healthcare issues rather than the Lebanese healthcare authorities. Therefore, there is need for the development of a more efficient technology-driven healthcare management system. At the global level, there is a need to develop a step-by-step action-oriented strategic initiative to respond to emerging pandemics.
内容分析（CA）是一种用于医疗保健研究的调查性研究工具，用于识别迫在眉睫的挑战，同时为防范措施争取准备时间。本研究的目的是报告全球医疗保健行业面临的挑战。
本研究采用传统的CA“自下而上”方法处理定量数据。CA是一种使用定性研究方法和词频统计来评估传播结果的研究技术。一群高级工商管理硕士（EMBA）和医学生支持了这项研究。研究人员以13种期刊为数据源，对所有包含“医疗保健”一词的文章、标题和摘要进行在线关键词搜索。收集的数据来自2021年1月1日至2021年12月31日期间的五种国际期刊、四种中东期刊和四种黎巴嫩期刊。
CA结果表明，关键词“COVID-19对健康的影响”作为一个主要的全球主题占据显著主导地位。各子类别之间存在显著差异，但尤其仍与COVID-19、社会责任以及研发相关。诸如合并症、社会责任、医疗保健物流以及医疗服务提供者的福祉等主题是报道最少的主题。
我们的研究结果强调了全球媒体及其对医疗保健问题的报道对我们研究中黎巴嫩期刊所涵盖的医疗保健主题类型（如疫苗、药物等）的重要性。因此，全球医疗保健媒体是黎巴嫩期刊报道医疗保健问题的主要来源，而非黎巴嫩医疗保健当局。因此，需要开发一种更高效的技术驱动型医疗保健管理系统。在全球层面，需要制定一项逐步的、以行动为导向的战略举措来应对新出现的大流行病。
