基于CiteSpace对心力衰竭中医外治法相关研究的可视化分析

Visualized Analysis of Research on External Treatment of Heart Failure Based on CiteSpace

摘要: 目的：基于CiteSpace探索心力衰竭疾病在中医外治法的文献发表情况，研究热点及研究趋势，为该领域今后的治疗和护理提供一定的参考。方法：以中国知网、万方、维普、中国生物医学数据库为检索源，检索自建库以来至2023年5月15日中医外治法治疗心力衰竭的相关文献，将检索到的文献导入NoteExpress去重，再利用CiteSpace可视化软件将作者、机构以及关键词进行分析。结果：共纳入976篇文献，年发文量总体呈现逐渐上升趋势，发刊量最多的期刊是《按摩与康复医学》，发文量最多的作者是王茎，作者间存在作者合作群，但联系相对不紧密。研究机构大多以中医药院校、中医医院为主。对关键词进行分析，研究热点为以穴、穴位贴敷、抑郁症等，研究前沿包括中医外治技术，如针灸、耳穴压豆等，其研究目的为改善患者的生活质量。结论：我国关于心力衰竭中医外治法发文量逐年增加，但各作者及机构合作相对较少，建议今后可以加强合作，促进我国中医外治对心力衰竭的相关研究。

Abstract: Objective: To explore the literature publication, research hotspots and research trends of external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine for heart failure based on CiteSpace, so as to provide some reference for future treatment and nursing in this field. Methods: China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, VIP and China Biology Medicine Database were used as the search sources to retrieve the literatures related to the treatment of heart failure with external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine from the establishment of the database to May 15, 2023. The retrieved literatures were imported into NoteExpress to remove the duplication, and then the authors, institutions and keywords were analyzed by CiteSpace visualization software. Results: A total of 976 literatures were included, and the annual number of publications showed a gradual upward trend. The journal with the largest number of publications was “Massage and Rehabilitation Medicine”, and the author with the largest number of publications was Wang Jing. Most of the research institutions were traditional Chinese medicine colleges and hospitals. According to the analysis of keywords, the research hotspots were acupoints, acupoint application, depression, etc. The research frontiers included external treatment techniques of traditional Chinese medicine, such as acupuncture and auricular acupoint pressing, etc. The research purpose was to improve the quality of life of patients. Conclusions: The number of articles on TCM external treatment of heart failure in China is increasing year by year, but the cooperation between the authors and institutions is relatively small. It is suggested to strengthen cooperation in the future to promote the research on TCM external treatment of heart failure in China.
