CiteSpace visual analysis of the nursing progress of elderly femoral neck fractures
Objective To visually analyze relevant literature in the field of nursing care for elderly femoral neck fractures,this study was conducted to provide reference for future clinical practice and nursing research in this field.Methods We searched the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)database for relevant literature on"femoral neck fracture in the elderly"AND"nursing".The search time period was set from January 2013 to April 2023.The language was limited to Chinese.All documents that met the standards were exported in Refworks format,name it with"download_XX"and save it to the input folder.After burning,used CiteSpace software to convert the data format and set parameters.The time sliceing was 2013-2023,and the year per slice was 1 year.The graph pruning method was used a pathfinder network to clip the result view to ensure the readability of the view.All other parameters were default values.At that time,we used Excel tables to draw a line chart of the annual publication volume;we conducted visual analysis of the annual publication volume,publishing authors,publishing institutions,keywords,etc.,formed a network analysis map,and studied and interpreted the relevant content of the map.Results In the end,a total of 882 documents were included.The number of publications in this field has been increasing year by year in the past 10 years,reaching a peak of 122 publications in 2019;there were only 3 authors with≥3 publications.The Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University and the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province were the institutions that publish the most papers in this research field.It can be seen that the author groups and research institutions in this field were relatively scattered and lack cooperation.Research hotspots focused on the elderly,postoperative complications,different nursing methods and models,etc.Research hotspot focused on psychological state,traditional Chinese medicine emotional care,postoperative rehabilitation,quality of life,satisfaction,etc.Conclusion As the trend of population aging continues to intensify,the incidence of femoral neck fractures in the elderly was increasing day by day.Timely attention to the research hot spots and development trends in this nursing field would be conducive to promoting the development of clinical practice and the advancement of nursing research.
