Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the research trend and hotspot of hospice palliative care needs, in order to provide reference for hospice palliative care research and clinic work base on the needs in China.Methods:A review of literature on hospice palliative care needs from February 1, 1999 to February 1, 2023 was conducted using CNKI(China National Knowledge Infrastructure)as the data source.Visual analysis was performed using CiteSpace 6.2.R3 software.Results:A total of 1 280 pieces of literature were retrieved, of which 113 met the inclusion criteria.The number of publications has been steadily increasing over the years, with a significant growth observed since 2017.Research on hospice palliative care needs was conducted by 73 journals, 161 institutions, and 247 authors.The main hotspots identified were the needs of nursing, community, and quality of life from the service recipients, as well as the training needs from the service providers.Methodological hotspots included qualitative research and studies on influencing factors.The research focus has shifted from end-of-life care to hospice palliative care with a multidisciplinary approach, catering not only to older adults or cancer patients but also to a wider range of individuals with non-cancer severe diseases.Current cutting-edge topics revolve around community-based, home hospice palliative care, and quality of life.Conclusions:The research on hospice palliative care needs in China is currently in the exploratory stage, showing significant potential for further development in both research and practice.
