Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the research hotspots and trends of non-pharmacological interventions for geriatric depression, to provide a reference for conducting relevant research in China.Methods:Literature on non-pharmacological interventions for geriatric depression was electronically searched in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Web of Science Core Collection databases. The search period was from database establishment to June 1, 2024. The authors, institutions, countries, and keywords of the published articles were visually analyzed based on CiteSpace 6.2.R7.Results:A total of 238 articles in Chinese and 342 articles in English were included. There was an overall fluctuating upward trend in the number of publications on non-pharmacological interventions for geriatric depression. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, electroconvulsive therapy, acupuncture therapy and psychotherapy, music therapy, and exercise therapy were the research hotspots. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and music therapy for the improvement of cognitive function and neurotransmitters in patients, and Meta-analysis and systematic review of related studies were the research trends.Conclusions:Non-pharmacological interventions for geriatric depression have attracted the attention of scholars at home and abroad. High-quality studies should be conducted in China to strengthen the cooperation among institutions and authors, and to explore non-pharmacological intervention programs suitable for our geriatric depression population.
