Abstract:
Objective:To compare the current situation of research on workplace violence (WPV) among nurses at home and abroad, providing directions for further research.Methods:Research on WPV among nurses published in PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, China national knowledge infrastructure, Wanfang, and VIP databases from January 1, 2003 to October 14, 2023 were searched and screened, using visualization software CiteSpace and VOSviewer to analyze the distribution and correlation of countries, authors, institutions and keywords of the included studies.Results:A total of 1 082 Chinese articles and 2 770 English articles were included. From 2003 to 2023, the annual publication volume of research on nurse WPV showed a continuous upward trend in both Chinese and English literature. Among domestic institutions, Harbin Medical University published the most articles ( n=25). Among international research institutions, North South University ( n=9) and University of Malaya ( n=9) led in publication output. A total of 67 core authors were identified in Chinese literature and 194 in the English literature. Analysis of high-frequency keywords showed that the research topics could be summarized as research types, occurrence mechanisms, negative effects, high-risk precursors, intervention strategies, negative effects and population differences. Chinese Nursing Research ( n=40) and Journal of Nursing Management ( n=186) published the most Chinese and English articles. Conclusions:The amount of research on workplace violence among nurses has generally increased in recent years. The mechanisms of occurrence, high-risk precursors, and intervention strategies are important research directions. It is still necessary to further deepen the research content in the future.
