Abstract:
Objective:To organize and interpret the hot topics and development trends in the field of military medical education research over the past decade with the assistance of visualization software, and provide direction and reference for further study.Methods:Visualization software was used to retrieve relevant literature published worldwide from 2014 to 2023. A visualization analysis was performed on annual publication volume, authors, institutions, and keyword clustering.Results:The numbers of domestic and foreign articles were 452 and 121, respectively. Domestic research reached a peak in 2014 and increased again in 2019 and 2020. Foreign research remained stable from 2014 to 2018 and increased significantly in 2019 and 2020. There were 28 domestic authors and 5 foreign authors who published more than two papers. Domestic research was primarily led by Naval Medical University (47 papers) and Air Force Medical University (21 papers). Internationally, the United States (10 institutions) and Israel (2 institutions) were at the forefront of research in this field. Keyword cluster and label analysis identified 11 cluster labels for domestic research, revealing research hotspots such as curriculum content reform in military medical universities, ideological and political education, practical training for general military doctors, and the improvement of military-civilian integrated medical service capabilities. Foreign research yielded 10 cluster labels, highlighting research hotspots such as emergency medical simulation training, health care, and psychological therapy intervention. Nine burst keywords were identified in both domestic and foreign literatures, indicating a recent domestic focus on job competency and a foreign emphasis on psychological impacts.Conclusions:Over the past decade, domestic research primarily focused on military medical school education reform and grassroots military medical officer education. In the last three years, the emphasis shifted towards the post competency of military medical staff. In contrast, international research centered on public health emergency medicine and health service management, with a shift in the past three years toward addressing both physiological and psychological issues.
