Abstract:
BackgroundThe etiology and pathogenesis of somatic symptom disorder are complicated, for which no effective treatment currently exists, posing a critical impact on their quality of life. ObjectiveTo analyze the current situation and development trend in domestic and foreign research on somatic symptom disorder from 2011 to 2021, and to better understand the research frontiers and hot spots in this field. MethodsOn 31 August 2022, literature on somatic symptom disorder published from January 1, 2011 to January 1, 2023 were searched in China National knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, Web of Science and PubMed, and a total of 15 035 articles were included, then the visualization analysis of the number of publications and keywords was conducted based on Microsoft Excel and CiteSpace software. ResultsIn the field of somatic symptoms disorder research from 2011 to 2021, the number of annual publications demonstrated an overall upward trend in foreign studies, and displayed a slow downward trend in domestic studies. The keyword co-occurrence network analysis revealed that the top five high-frequency keywords were "mental health" "depressive disorder" "depression" "anxiety" and "somatic symptom" in domestic studies, and were "symptom" "prevalence" "depression" "disorder" and "quality of life" in foreign studies. The burst analysis suggested that the burst terms in past five years were "somatic symptom" "syndrome" and "quality of life" in domestic studies, and were "major depressive disorder" and "outcome" in foreign studies. The clustering analysis yielded 8 clusters in domestic studies and 4 clusters in foreign studies, reflecting in the related disease, prevention and treatment protocols and epidemiological characteristics of somatic symptom disorder. ConclusionIn recent years, the publications and academic concerns regarding the research on somatic symptom disorder show an upward trend in foreign studies and are relatively inadequate in domestic studies, and both the domestic and foreign studies have been focused on the influencing factors of somatic symptom disorder.
