Abstract:
Objective:To understand the research status and development trends on the application of virtual reality technology in nursing field at home and abroad, so as to provide a reference for the further development of virtual reality technology.Methods:Literatures related to the application of virtual reality in nursing field published from 2001 to 2021 from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Web of Science Core Collection were retrieved. Visualization analysis was conducted on the number of publications, journals, authors, institutions and keywords using CiteSpace 5.6. R2 software.Results:A total of 596 literatures were included, and the number of publications showed an rising trend. The number and scale of foreign core authors and core institutional groups were larger than those in China. The common hot keywords at home and abroad were education, pain, anxiety, rehabilitation, etc. Foreign research trends were telemedicine, inter-professional cooperation and so on, while domestic research trends were chronic care, continuity care, disaster care, etc.Conclusions:Domestic research on virtual reality technology is later than foreign research, however it has developed rapidly in the past 2 years, and the annual average number of published papers is gradually approaching that of foreign countries. Domestic and foreign authors and institutions need to strengthen cooperation. Relevant researches at home and abroad both focus on nursing education and clinical application. In addition, foreign countries pay more attention to the cooperation between various disciplinary teams, and China pays more attention to chronic disease management.
