Trends and hotspots of design thinking in nursing research: A bibliometric analysis
This study highlights the growing global focus on design thinking in nursing, with Western regions emerging as key contributors to research in the field. The recognition of key areas, including human-centered design, digital health, telemedicine, AI, education, innovation, implementation science, and quality improvement, underscores the need for nursing to advance its design thinking approaches.
