Abstract:
Objective:To visualize and analyze the scientific achievements of psychological distress of family caregivers for patients with dementia based on Web of Science, to clarify the current research status, hotspots, and frontiers in this field.Methods:The literature on psychological distress of family caregivers for patients with dementia collected in the core collection of Web of Science from 2005 to 2024 were retrieved. VOSviewer, CiteSpace, BICOMB, gCLUTO were used to analyze the annual number of publications, countries, institutions, authors, journals and keywords.Results:A total of 794 articles were included, and the overall number of articles was on the rise. A total of 41 countries published articles. United States had the largest number (251 articles) and the closest cooperation with other countries. The institution with the largest number of publications was from United Kingdom (42 articles), the authors with the largest output were from United States and Spain (both 12 articles), and the journal with the largest number of publications was Aging & Mental Health (53 articles). Five clusters: psychological distress performance; mental and behavioral symptoms associated with dementia patients; a systematic review of family care for dementia patients; the relationship between psychological distress and care burden, quality of life, mental health; the influence of psychological distress on family caregivers of dementia patients were obtained by keyword clustering analysis. The most prominent keyword was "individual", "acceptance and commitment therapy" and "reliability" were emerging burst keywords. Conclusions:United States and United Kingdom are in a leading position in the field, and the research in China lacks international cooperation. Psychological distress performance and the relationship between psychological distress and care burden, quality of life, mental health are the current research hotspots. Acceptance and commitment therapy reliability research and personalized interventions are research trends.
