Abstract:
Objective To provide relevant suggestions for ethical considerations in clinical research by searching literature related to ethics in clinical research using the visualization analysis software CiteSpace,and to analyze and compare the current research status of clinical research ethics at home and abroad.Methods The papers on the application of medical ethics in clinical trials from the core collection of CNKI and Web of Science databases were collected and the bibliometric software CiteSpace was used to draw a knowledge map of domestic and foreign literature.The research hotspots and development trends of medical ethics in clinical trials were analyzed.Results In terms of the process of informed consent,risk minimization,fair selection,and protection on the rights and interests of vulnerable groups,the focus of medical ethics research in China were basically consistent with foreign literature.The difference was that foreign research focused more on ethical education,the quality of life of research participants,and ethical counseling.Otherwise,domestic research focused more on the quality management of clinical trials and the specificity of traditional Chinese medicine research,with research on vulnerable groups mostly focused on children.Conclusion Chinese researchers should strengthen multi-dimensional research on medical ethics in China,and gradually expand their view from ethical review points and management research to applied research solved clinical problems and the specificity of research participants,and increasing the number and dimensions of research.
