Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the current situation of researches on the fear of disease progression at home and abroad, and sort out the research hotspots and development context.Methods:The relevant literature about fear of disease progression published by China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science core collection database were systematiclly searched, and the search period was from January 1, 2002 to June 24, 2022. CiteSpace 5.8.R3 software was used for visual analysis of relevant literature.Results:A total of 340 articles were retrieved from CNKI and 1 199 articles were retrieved from Web of Science core collection database. The countries and institutions with the highest number of international publications were Germany, Technical University of Munich and The University of Sydney, with close cooperation among authors and poor inter-institutional cooperation. Domestic research focused on the influencing factors of fear of disease progression and its relationship with depression, anxiety, social support and quality of life, while foreign research focused on breast cancer and its survivors, depression, anxiety, quality of life, reliability and validity of the questionnaire and the feasibility of intervention.Conclusions:The number of articles published at home and abroad is generally on the rise. Compared with foreign countries, there is still a certain gap in the research on fear of progression in China. In the future, China should timely pay attention to the development trends and hot frontiers in this field internationally, so as to promote the research and development of fear of disease progression in China.
