Abstract:
Objective:To understand the research hotspots and development trends of medical simulation education in China and other countries and to provide a reference for the development of medical simulation education in China.Methods:CNKI and Web of Science were used as databases to retrieve Chinese and international research articles related to medical simulation education since the 21st century. These included 4 338 articles from CNKI and 5 986 articles from Web of Science. CiteSpace data analysis software was used to compare and visualize the research hotspots and development trends of medical simulation education in China and other countries.Results:The annual publication volume of research on medical simulation education in China and other countries generally increased with periodic fluctuations. The United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom showed centralities greater than 0.1 in the international cooperation network. Institutions and authors in other countries demonstrated a higher degree of collaboration than those in China. The journals of BMC Medical Education and China Higher Medical Education published the highest number of articles. The research hotspots in other countries included virtual reality and patient safety, while the research in China focused on standardized patients and nursing education. Cutting-edge topics in other countries included medical education and training, postgraduate medical education, 3D printing, augmented reality, and feedback. In China, the cutting-edge research focused on education, resident physicians, satisfaction, and comprehensive capabilities.Conclusions:Medical simulation education remains a hot topic in future research. Compared with China, other countries have demonstrated advantages in construction of medical simulation education discipline, the efficiency of simulation center usage, faculty training systems, curriculum design, and talent development systems, with more systematic and diversified research frontiers and hotspots.
