Visual Analysis of Postoperative Pain Management Research Hotpots in China in the Past Decade Based on CiteSpace

目的：了解我国术后疼痛管理的研究现状，探究该领域的研究趋势，为优化术后疼痛管理策略、提升患者康复质量提供研究依据。方法：检索并整理中国知网、万方等数据库2013~2023年术后疼痛管理相关文献，采用CiteSpace 6.1.R6进行关键词共现、聚类、突现及合作网络分析。结果：共纳入文献1183篇；年发文量总体呈起伏式增长趋势；研究热点主要为：围手术期、护理、加速康复外科、多模式镇痛、全膝关节置换术等。研究前沿体现在关注生活质量，强调运用循证理念缓解术后疼痛、注重患者心理护理，研究人群集中在老年患者。结论：近十年，我国术后疼痛管理的研究已逐渐拓展至关注围术期护理、多模式镇痛及心理护理的系统性上。我国术后疼痛管理研究得到一定程度的发展，但作者之间合作较为薄弱，亟需加强不同院校与医院间学者的交互合作，构建更加科学和标准化的术后疼痛管理模式，以促进术后病人康复，提高生活质量。Objective: To sum up the research status and trends of postoperative pain management research in China in the past decade by the visualization analysis on relevant literature with software CiteSpace V, so as to provide direction for future relevant research. Methods: Articles related to postoperative pain management published between 2013 and 2023 searched by the CNKI and Wan Fang were selected. Keyword co-occurrence, clustering, emergence and collaborative networks were analyzed by CiteSpace V. Results: A total of 1183 articles were included; The annual number of published documents exhibits an overall fluctuating growth trend; Perioperative period, nursing, accelerated rehabilitation surgery, multimodal analgesia, total knee arthroplasty, etc. are popular keywords. Which concentrates on quality of life, emphasizes the use of evidence-based concept to alleviate postoperative pain, and pays attention to patient psychological care were the forefront of future research. The research population is concentrated in elderly patients. Conclusion: In the past decade, Chinese scholars digging into postoperative pain management has progressively fixed their attention on perioperative care, multimodal analgesia, and psychological care in a systematic manner. Altogether, research on postoperative pain management in China has achieved a certain degree of development. Nevertheless, cooperation between institutions and authors is comparatively weak. As a consequence, it is imperative to strengthen interaction and cooperation between different universities and hospitals. Aside from that, it is essential to build a more scientific and standardized postoperative pain management model to promote postoperative patient recovery and heighten quality of life.
