Abstract:
Objective:To systematically review the research hotspots and trends in the diagnosis and treatment of depressive disorder in general practice over the past 20 years.Methods:Relevant Chinese and English literature was retrieved from CNKI and the Web of Science Core Collection using search terms "general practice" "depression" "general practi*" and "depress*". The search period was from January 1, 2003, to December 31, 2022. Citespace 6.2R2 advanced edition software was used to perform a visual analysis of the annual publication volume, research institutions, authors, keywords, burst terms, and time zone map of the included literature.Results:A total of 169 Chinese and 231 English literatures were included. Over the past two decades, the number of literatures in China has grown rapidly, while overseas literatures have remained stable. Domestically, collaborations between research institutions were mainly concentrated within the same region, particularly around primary care centers and specialty hospitals in Shanghai. International collaborations were relatively more dispersed, mainly around higher education institutions and university-affiliated general hospitals in Europe and Australia, showing a more diverse form of collaboration. Keyword cluster analysis showed that domestic studies focused mainly on 11 topics such as "depression""anxiety" and "health status", while foreign studies identified 11 topics including "chronic diseases""mortality" and "depressive disorders". Keyword time zone analysis showed that previous research topics, such as the prevalence of depressive symptoms and their influencing factors, depression and quality of life in the elderly, have recently shifted to include the detection rate of mental disorders in general outpatient practice, as well as an evaluation of the role of family doctors and general care in comorbid and chronic disease management.Conclusions:Domestic research on the diagnosis and treatment of depressive disorders in general practice is increasing. The focus and frontiers of domestic and foreign research are mainly focused on the effectiveness and accuracy of screening for depressive disorder, and mental health intervention and whole-cycle management for patients diagnosed with depression.
