Abstract:
Objective:To explore the current research status and hotspots of Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD), and to provide a reference for conducting PGD-related studies in China.Methods:A literature search was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection database, covering publications related to PGD from its inception to July 24, 2024. CiteSpace 6.1.R4 and VOSviewer 1.6.19 were used to perform visual analyses of publication countries, institutions, authors, journals, and keywords.Results:A total of 1996-2024 publications showed a fluctuating upward trend in the number of PGD-related studies. The United States was the country with the highest number of publications. Utrecht University had the highest institutional output, and Boelen, Paul A. was the most prolific author. The journal Death Studies had the largest number of PGD-related publications. Keyword clustering revealed that research participants primarily included caregivers of patients receiving palliative care and bereaved children. The relationship between PGD and other psychiatric disorders, the development of PGD assessment tools, and the mechanisms of PGD were identified as research hotspots. Keyword burst detection indicated that psychological interventions for PGD represent the research frontier. Conclusions:Future research should focus on the development of localized assessment tools and intervention programs for PGD, improvement of relevant policies, and the construction of grief care education systems grounded in Chinese cultural context.
