The bibliometrics analysis of the literature status,hotspots and trends in nursing virtual simulation in China
Objective To explore the current literature status,hotspots,and development trends in the field of nursing virtual simulation in China in last decade.Methods Through literature searching in CNKI database,articles related to the application of virtual simulation technology in the nursing field published from 2014 to 2023 were retrieved.CiteSpace 6.3R1 software was employed to analyze the number of publications,author collaborations,publishing institutions,as well as keyword co-occurrence,clustering,timeline,and burstness.Results A total of 487 literature were included.From 2014 to 2023,the annual number of publications in the field of nursing virtual simulation in China showed an overall upward trend.There were 113 core authors;and 3 institutions had published more than or equal to 5 articles.Literature hotspots mainly focused on experimental and clinical teaching,rehabilitation and pain nursing,etc.The close integration of virtual simulation technology with the Intemet and augmented reality technology,as well as the application of virtual simulation technology in maintaining joint function and for hemiplegic patients,showed to be the development trends in this field.Conclusion Literature in the field of nursing virtual simulation in China indicates a rapid development stage,with diversified literature hotspots.In the future,interdisciplinary,cross-unit,and cross-regional collaborations should be promoted.More in-depth research should be conducted from a broader perspective,focusing on the literature hotspots and development trends in this field,thereby further advancing the application of virtual simulation in nursing field.
