Abstract:
ObjectiveTo sort out and analyze the current situation of research related to patient privacy protection in China in the context of healthcare data sharing, with a view to providing a reference for future research in related fields. MethodsJournal articles related to patient privacy protection were retrieved from China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang databases from 2018 to 2023. The Cite Space 6.2. R 5 software was used to conduct analysis of keyword cluster and keyword burst. Combined with the specific contents of literature, the current situation of research on patient privacy protection in China was sorted out. ResultsA total of 1,590 articles were included for analysis. The core journal with the most publications was China Medical Ethics (54 articles, 3.40%). The current situation of research in the field of patient privacy protection in China can be summarized as the privacy issues related to medical care activities, privacy issues caused by new technologies of medical services, and privacy issues in special situations. The results of keyword burst analysis showed that “personal information” and “data sharing” were current hot research topics. ConclusionIn the context of healthcare data sharing, patient privacy protection is still a research hot focus. The current research on the definition of patient privacy protection is relatively limited. It is recommended to deeply explore the understanding of multiple parties on privacy protection and enrich the connotation of patient privacy protection from multiple perspectives in the future. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen medical staff’s awareness and behavioral practice of patient privacy protection, continuously practice the safety and effectiveness of patient privacy protection technology, and further improve legislation related to personal privacy protection in special periods and in the context of health data sharing.
