Abstract:
Objective:To conduct a visual analysis of the research status, hotspots, and trends concerning fear of falling in stroke patients both at home and abroad based on CiteSpace.Methods:Literature on fear of falling in stroke patients was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, and VIP. The retrieval time is from the establishment of the database to December 31, 2023. CiteSpace 5.8.R3 was used for visual analysis of countries, institutions, authors, and keywords.Results:A total of 113 English and 53 Chinese papers were included, showing an overall upward trend in publications. The United States ranked first in the number of English publications, followed by China, with the UK and Canada tied for third. Institutional and author collaborations were more cohesive internationally than domestically. Research hotspots included the elderly population, influencing factors, quality of life, intervention methods, and psychological states.Conclusions:The visual analysis using CiteSpace reveals research hotspots and trends in fear of falling among stroke patients globally, offering a novel perspective for researchers. Future research in China should integrate international research trends and pursue multidisciplinary, large-sample, multi-center studies to promote methodological diversity and broaden research content, thereby providing effective interventions for stroke patients with fear of falling.
