BACKGROUND: Dementia is a serious and growing health problem, and since most people with dementia live at home, caring responsibilities generally fall on family members. Caregivers are often inadequately supported by formal health services and have poorer psychological and physical health. Our study aimed to compare the contributions of publications from different countries, institutions and authors and present a bibliometric analysis to determine the hotspots and trends in research concerning the health of and interventions for family dementia caregivers. METHODS: Studies published during 1988-2018 were extracted from the Science Citation Index Expanded of the Web of Science. Each abstract of publications was evaluated to obtain the basic information. A bibliometric analysis was used to evaluate the number or cooperation networks of publications, countries, institutions, journals, citations, authors, references, and keywords. The resulting articles were analyzed descriptively, and the publication keywords were visualized using VOSviewer. RESULTS: Five hundred forty-two articles were identified. The annual number of relevant publications has steadily increased since approximately 2006. The USA has the highest number of publications (36.2%), followed by the UK (12.9%). China entered the field late, but research conducted in China has rapidly developed. The most productive institution, journal, and author in this field are University College London, the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, and Orrell M from the UK, respectively. A co-occurrence analysis of the keywords reveals a mainstream research focus on burden, depression, quality of life, and corresponding interventions for people with dementia caregivers. The keywords "psychosocial intervention", "long-term", "e-learning/online", "communication", and "qualitative research" reflect the latest hotspots, appearing in approximately 2017-2018. CONCLUSION: Our study details the performance statistics, main topics and trends research on the health of and interventions for dementia caregivers from 1988 to 2018 and provides a comprehensive analysis.
背景:痴呆是一个严重且日益严重的健康问题,由于大多数痴呆患者都在家中生活,因此照顾责任通常落在家庭成员身上。护理人员通常得不到正式卫生服务的充分支持,他们的心理和身体健康状况较差。我们的研究旨在比较来自不同国家、机构和作者的出版物的贡献,并进行文献计量分析,以确定有关家庭痴呆护理人员健康和干预措施的研究热点和趋势。
方法:从 Web of Science 的科学引文索引扩展版中提取了 1988 年至 2018 年期间发表的研究。对出版物的每篇摘要进行评估,以获取基本信息。使用文献计量分析评估出版物的数量或合作网络、国家、机构、期刊、引用、作者、参考文献和关键词。对所得文章进行描述性分析,并使用 VOSviewer 可视化出版关键词。
结果:确定了 542 篇文章。自 2006 年左右以来,相关出版物的年数量稳步增加。美国发表的文章数量最多(36.2%),其次是英国(12.9%)。中国进入该领域较晚,但中国开展的研究发展迅速。该领域最具生产力的机构、期刊和作者分别是英国伦敦大学学院、美国老年医学会杂志和 Orrell M。对关键词的共现分析揭示了一个主流研究重点,即痴呆患者护理人员的负担、抑郁、生活质量及其相应干预措施。“心理社会干预”、“长期”、“电子学习/在线”、“沟通”和“定性研究”等关键词反映了最新的热点,出现在 2017-2018 年左右。
结论:我们的研究详细介绍了 1988 年至 2018 年期间有关痴呆患者护理人员健康和干预措施的表现统计数据、主要主题和趋势研究,并提供了全面的分析。
