Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the current hotspots of international research on patient safety in recent 10 years, and to provide reference for the scientific research and practical management of patient safety in China.Methods:Based on Web of Science database, CiteSpace visual analysis software was used to analyze the related literature on patient safety collected from January 2009 to December 2018. Word frequency analysis and Co-word clustering were performed on research institutions, authors, countries, journals, cited literature and high frequency keywords.Results:At present, the international research on patient safety is mainly concentrated in European and American higher educational institution with Harvard University as the core; the core journals are The Journal of the American Medical Association, New England Journal of Medicine, Lancet and other journals with the highest international academic influence; the patient safety phase is excavated through keyword co-occurrence cluster analysis. There are 9 international research hotspots, such as safety practice management, safety index research, safety education and safety culture construction. Conclusion:The relevant research background and current situation in the international field of patient safety are in a mature and stable stage. The research team is mainly concentrated in developed areas such as Europe and the United States, and a more closely cooperative and shared research model has been formed. The research hotspot and focus are closely around the multi-disciplinary and multi-field research theme of "patient-centered" advocated by the World Health Organization, which is worthy of domestic researchers' reference and learning. Also, the research and exploration work cored on patient safety domestically needed to be further structured and promoted.
