Visualization of nurses'work-related musculoskeletal disorders based on VOS viewer and CiteSpace knowledge graphs
Objective To visually analyze the research literature of work-related musculoskeletal diseases(WMSDs)of nurses in the past decade,and explore the current status,hotspot and trend of nurses'WMSDs at home and abroad.Methods The literature on nurses'WMSDs were retrieved from Web of Science and CNKI databases from 2013 to 2023.The visual analysis of publication volume,author,organization,and keywords was performed by using CiteSpace 6.2 R2 and VOSviewer 1.6.18 software.Results A total of 761 valid articles were obtained,and the overall publication volume showed a fluctuating growth trend.TIAN Suzhai and Holtermann Andreas team was the leading research team in the field of WMSDs for nurses both domestically and internationally in the past decade.Xinjiang Medical University and Denmark's National Work Environment Research Center were the research institutions with the highest number of publications in this field.The"ergonomics","influencing factors","back pain"and"occupational protection"were the hot words in the field in the past decade,and the depth and breadth of domestic research types,research methods and research dimensions in this field need to be further improved.Conclusion The research attention on nurses'WMSDs is gradually increasing,and the occupational health of nurses is constantly receiving attention.It is necessary to strengthen the cooperation and communication between research teams,broaden the research direction,mine objective quantitative data in the future.Aiming to provide theoretical reference for the development of this field,help to take scientific measures to reduce the prevalence of WMSDs among nurses,and promote the occupational health of nurses.
