| Objective:Using bibliometric and information visualization technology,we analyzed the nursing management articles collected by 12 kinds of nursing core journals in China and the WOS database,and comprehensively understood the distribution status of China’s current nursing management articles,fund situation,authors and institutions cooperation.The research focus and development trend of nursing management are presented intuitively.Data sources:1.Chinese data source: According to the 2015 edition of Chinese science and Technology Journal Citation Report(core version),collected 14000 nursing management papers published in the 12 core nursing periodicals from 2012 to 2017(7214 non-fund papers,4186 fund paper).2.Foreign data source: A total of 128 nursing management papers published by Chinese authors from 2015 to 2017 included in the Web of Science database(67 fund papers,61 non-fund papers).Methods:1.Bibliometrics methodWe analyzed the information of the target literature,including the amount of articles,periodical distribution,source of funds,number of authors,qualifications of authors,regional distribution,institutional nature,nature and types of papers,statistical methods,citation volume,citation type and citation language.2.Word frequency analysisThe occurrence frequency of the keywords in the literature was counted,and the focus of research in the field of nursing management were determined according to the frequency.3.Visualization methodWe drew the map of scientific knowledge by using Citespace V software,and analyzed the authors,institutional cooperation,and research hotspots and frontiers of nursing management in 2012-2017.Results:1.Bibliometric analysis results:From 2015 to 2017,a total of 5342 nursing management papers were published in 12 nursing core journals,of which 2,446 and 2,896 were funded and non-funded papers separately.The Chinese authors published in the WOS database have collected128 nursing management papers,of which 67 papers were funded and 61 papers were non-funded.The number of papers on nursing management in China has been decreasing with each passing year,while the number of non-fund articles and fund papers decreased,but the ratio of fund papers was increasing gradually,and the average ratio of the fund paper was 0.458.The top-ranking journal for nursing management fund papers was “Chinese Journal of Nursing”,the ratio of funded papers was 0.592,followed by “Nursing Research” and “Modern Clinical Nursing”,and the fund paper ratios were 0.567 and 0.548 separately.The number of nursing management papers included in the WOS database remained basically stable,and the average ratio of the fund paper was 0.523.The nursing management papers included in the WOS database were distributed in 68 kinds of periodicals,and the largest number of articles was published by “Journal of Nursing Management”,reached 7articles.The domestic fund papers were mainly funded by individual funds,accounting for 85.61%,and the funding sources were mainly provincial(municipality)level,while the nursing management fund papers included in the WOS database werebased on two or more funds,accounting for 32.84%,and the individual funds were mainly funded by the national level.The nature of Chinese nursing management papers was the most quantitative research,accounting for 77.85%,followed by review of the research.The type of papers were mainly based on investigation(44.20%).The proportion of research using statistical methods was continuously increasing,and statistical inference accounted for the largest proportion,which was 66.70%.From the perspective of cooperation,the cooperation rate and cooperating degree of the authors of domestic nursing management papers were increasing year by year,and the fund paper was higher than that of non-fund paper.The number of cooperation between domestic fund papers and non-funded paper authors was mainly based on the cooperation of 4 and 3 people separately;the fund papers and non-funded papers collected in the WOS database were mainly based on 5 people and 4 people.The authors of the domestic nursing management dissertation were distributed in 34 regions,Beijing,Shanghai,Guangdong,Hubei,Jiangsu and Zhejiang ranked the top six in terms of the number of documents issued,of which Shanghai and Beijing were the regions with the highest number of papers in funded and non-funded dissertation separately;The authors of nursing management papers collected in WOS database were distributed in 22 regions,of which Shanghai,Zhejiang,Shandong,Beijing,Hunan,Taiwan and Hong Kong issued a relatively large amount.The authors of Chinese nursing management fund papers were mainly undergraduate degree(40.58%).The proportion of secondary senior professional titles was the largest(30.71%).The authors of non fund papers are mainly undergraduate(58.25%),and the intermediate professional titles account for the largest proportion(39.52%).According to the number of authors,the proportion of authors from the same institution was the largest in domestic nursing management papers,but its proportion was decreasing year by year,and the cooperation between multiple agencies was increasing.The authors of nursing management papers included in the WOS database were from the same institution.The nursing management papers included in the WOS database,with a majority of institutions issued.Judging from the nature of institutions,the domestic nursing management fund papers and non-fund papers were mainlyaffiliated hospitals of medical colleges(44.93%),and the nursing management fund papers and non-fund papers covered by WOS database was the largest in medical schools(70.31%).In terms of citations,the citation volume of domestic nursing management papers has increased year by year,with a total of 14.23 papers per article,and the citation volume of fund papers(14.83/articles)was higher than that of non-fund papers(13.73/articles),but obviously lower than 37.52/articles in the nursing management dissertations included in the WOS database.The citations of nursing management papers collected in domestic and WOS databases were mainly Chinese and English separately,and the citation types were mainly periodicals.2.Visual analysis results:In the field of nursing management,several large scientific research teams have been formed,with the core of Liu Yilan,Shi Yan,Wu Xinjuan,Li Jiping,Zhao Qinghua,You Liming and Xu Cuiping separately.The cooperation among the authors was mostly internal cooperation within the same institution.The cooperation between agencies was relatively close,and most of them are cooperation between affiliated hospitals or medical schools and their affiliated hospitals.The hot spots in the field of nursing management were focused on three aspects: nursing human resource management,nursing quality management and nursing safety management.Human resource management was mainly based on job satisfaction,core competence,post management,performance assessment,job burnout and turnover intention.The research of nursing quality management is high

were operation room,intensive care unit,emergency department and central sterile supply department.Intravenous infusion management,methods of nursing quality management,and nursing information systems were at the forefront of the field of nursing management.Conclusion:In the last three years,the number of nursing management papers has been decreasing,but the ratio of the fund papers has been increasing.The authors of the nursing management dissertation report unbalanced distribution in the region,and the amount of articles is more in the economically developed areas.The authors have formed several close cooperative research teams.The cooperation between agencies was relatively close,mostly between medical hospitals affiliated hospitals,medical colleges and their affiliated hospitals,and cooperation across regions and provinces and cities was less.In the area of nursing management,the authors’ awareness of cooperation and their ability to cooperate have been continuously enhanced,and their ability to absorb and draw on literature has gradually increased.The research hotspots in this field can reveal the problems that need to be further solved in China’s current nursing management. |
