Objective To analyze the research trends of the solution-focused approach in the field of nursing and to provide a reference for relevant domestic research.Methods Utilizing the China national knowledge infrastructure(CNKI)and CSTJ as literature sources.CiteSpace V(5.8.R3)was applied to construct visual maps of authors,institutions,and keywords related to the application of the solution-focused approach in the nursing field in China.This analysis aimed to identify recent research hotspots and trends in this domain.Results A total of 1 120 literatures were finally included.The publication trend of the solution-focused approach in the domestic nursing field shows an upward trend,although there is no large-scale collaborative research team formed yet.The research subjects in this field are mostly nursing staff and chronic disease patients such as diabetes and respiratory system diseases.The main applications of the solution-focused approach in these studies are psychological interventions for nurses and health education and nursing interventions for patients.Conclusions The application of solution focused approach in domestic nursing is still in its preliminary stage.In the future,authors and institutions should strengthen collaboration,actively innovate the solution focused approach,and improve the research and application level in the nursing field.
