Abstract
ObjectiveTo conduct bibliometric and visual analysis of the international research status, hot spots and trends of surgery-related pressure injury, so as to provide reference for the development of domestic Operating Room nursing research.
MethodsThe literature on surgery-related pressure injuries from 2010 to 2020 was searched through the core collection of the Web of Science database, and bibliometrics was used to conduct statistical analysis on the number of published papers, journals, first authors, countries and institutions, research fields, the annual citation frequency of cumulative published papers, highly cited papers and keywords. CiteSpace 5.6.R2 software was used to visually cluster the keywords included in the literature and to analyze the research direction and development trend.
ResultsA total of 2 450 related literatures were retrieved. Since 2010, there was a clear upward trend in the number of publications related to Operating Room nursing research each year. A total of 14 countries have conducted relevant research, and the country with the largest number of published relevant papers was the United States (893) , followed by the United Kingdom (192) , Australia (168) and China (162) . According to the citation frequency analysis of the keywords, the top 5 keywords were pressure ulcer, prevention, prevalence, care and risk factor. The top 5 keywords in cluster analysis were reconstruction, elderly, oxidative stress, knowledge and Braden scale. Keywords such as classification, frailty, scale, skin blood flow and myocutaneous flap have high mediating centrality. In novelty analysis, adverse events and ischemia reperfusion injury attracted attention in recent years.
ConclusionsDomestic Operating Room nurses can learn from foreign experience to expand scientific research ideas, focusing on the elderly, patients with spinal injuries or mechanical ventilation in terms of research objects for surgery-related pressure injuries. Research hotspots focus on intervention effect evaluation, risk assessment, rehabilitation, etc. In terms of research design, randomized controlled studies risk factor analysis, and risk assessment tool development can be attempted.
