Abstract
ObjectiveTo identify current research hotspots, research trends and future trends of family physician research by means of literature review.
Methods" Family physician" and " general practitioner" were used as the search words, to retrieve in CNKI database the literature on family physicians published during 2011-2018 using the method of subject retrieval, with related literature citations downloaded. The citespace software was used to analyze and generate the research institutions and their cooperative network, the keyword co-occurrence network and emergent word analysis. Information visualization was used to analyze the current research status of family physicians in China.
ResultsA total of 1 616 papers were retrieved, and 773 literatures were finalized as research samples with exclusion of those obviously irrelevant. The study found that studies in China focused on talent cultivation, service contract signature of family physicians, pattern of such contracts, and the construction of primary medical institutions. In terms of future research trends, the hotspots fell on " performance evaluation" , " incentive mechanism" , " talent cultivation" , " health management" , and " chronic disease management" by such physicians.
ConclusionsThis paper used citespace software in a visual analysis of the research on family physicians in the recent eight years, so as to explore the research hotspots, research trends and future trends of such study in China.
