: Incidents of violence against medical staff have increased in intensity, showing the deteriorating relationship between doctors and patients in China over the past few years. In addition, professional-patient relations have been significantly affected in the Internet era in China, which has attracted great attention from many scholars. This study aims to analyze the research status of professional-patient relations in the Internet era in China and further reveal its research pattern and trends. : This study collected journal articles published during the past 21 years from the Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform. Then, bibliometric analysis was carried out, including publication growth, core author and collaborative degree, highly cited papers, journal distribution, and institution distribution analyses. We also analyzed the subject heading-source literature matrix and co-occurrence matrix of keywords through hierarchical cluster, social network, and strategic diagram analyses. : The number of articles has continually risen since 1998, which follows the growth law of literature. Furthermore, the distribution of these studies obeys Bradford's law of scattering, and mainly concentrates on the fields of medicine and health technology. The distribution of high-frequency keywords follows Zipf's law. : We identified eight focal research directions, namely: website building (especially for professional-patient interaction), telemedicine, professional-patient communication and network public opinion, professional-patient contradiction and health education, new media, follow-up interaction platform, healthcare reform and computer network, and medical ethics.
: 暴力伤医事件呈上升趋势，折射出近年来中国医患关系的恶化。此外，在中国的互联网时代，医患关系受到了显著影响，引起了众多学者的关注。本研究旨在分析中国互联网时代医患关系的研究现状，并进一步揭示其研究模式和趋势。: 本研究从万方数据知识服务平台收集了过去 21 年发表的期刊文章。然后，通过文献计量分析，包括发文增长、核心作者和合作度、高被引文献、期刊分布和机构分布分析，对其进行了分析。我们还通过层次聚类、社会网络和战略图分析，对主题词-来源文献矩阵和关键词共现矩阵进行了分析。: 1998 年以来，发文数量持续上升，符合文献增长规律。此外，这些研究的分布符合布拉德福的离散定律，主要集中在医学和卫生技术领域。高频关键词的分布符合齐夫定律。: 我们确定了八个聚焦研究方向，即：网站建设（特别是医患互动）、远程医疗、医患沟通与网络舆论、医患矛盾与健康教育、新媒体、随访互动平台、医疗改革与计算机网络、医学伦理。
