Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the research hotspots and fronts of the quality of life of patients with dementia in the past 10 years, and provide a reference for the development of research on the quality of life of patients with dementia in China.Methods:Using the Web of Science core database as the source of the literature, the literature related to the quality of life of dementia patients were retrieved from 2010 to 2019. CiteSpace visualization software was used to analyze the basic distribution characteristics, co-citation and keywords of the literature.Results:A total of 5 651 articles were included, and the annual number of publications showed an overall increasing trend, and the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia were active in this field. Among the top 10 institutions in terms of the number of publications, University College London dominated, and the author's cooperation was mainly within the institution. Research hotspots focused on the evaluation of the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions to improve the quality of life of dementia patients, remote assistance to reduce the burden of caregivers, the reliability and validity of tools for measuring the quality of life of patients with dementia and the quality evaluation of long-term care. The research front was mainly long-term care based on the human-centered principle, and information technology was gradually being used in the home care of patients with dementia.Conclusions:In research related to the quality of life of patients with dementia, psychosocial intervention and caregiver burden are key research issues. A telemedicine system that combines various modes is an effective way to improve the quality of life and reduce the burden on caregivers. At the same time, it is necessary to consider the cost-effectiveness of various modes and interventions. This article synthesizes foreign research on the quality of life of patients with dementia, and provides valuable information for further exploration in this field in China.
