模拟病人的研究现状及趋势——基于文献计量学分析

A bibliometric analysis of research status and trends of simulated patients

分析模拟病人研究现状,探讨模拟病人研究的发展趋势。本研究以VOS viewer软件为分析工具,通过搜索PubMed、中国知网数据库,分析了4164篇模拟病人的相关文献,通过制作关键词云、对照表格分析国内外模拟病人研究的现状与发展趋势,以此为依据进行可视化分析。另外从文献发表数量、发表期刊、作者、机构等角度对模拟病人研究进行分析,结果显示教育、考试、沟通是模拟病人研究主要关注热点。模拟病人中文研究呈现先上升后下降的趋势,模拟病人英文研究呈现平稳上升趋势。模拟病人可应用于诊断、内科学、外科学、考试等领域,对医学教育的发展有十分积极的作用,预计在未来几年,将会出现越来越多的模拟病人研究。

To analyze simulated patient studies and their developmental trajectory,a comprehensive review was conducted using VOS viewer software.PubMed and CNKI databases were searched for 4164 articles related to simulated patients.By creating keyword clouds and comparison tables,the current status and development trends of simulated patient studies at home and abroad were analyzed,and visual analysis was conducted based on these findings.Additionally,the analysis encompassed various metrics such as the number of published articles,journals,authors,and institutions involved.The findings reveal that the simulated patient studies focus on education,examination,and communication.Chinese studies on simulated patients initially demonstrated an upward trend but followed with a decline,whereas English studies have exhibited a steady upward trajectory.The application of simulated patients spans diverse fields including diagnostics,internal medicine,surgery,and medical practitioner exams,thereby greatly contributing to the advancement of medical education.It is anticipated that the number of simulated patient studies will continue to surge in the upcoming years.
