Integrative medicine has become a vital component of patient care. It provides patient-centered care that is focused on prevention and overall well-being. As there has been a growing number of patients favoring a blend of conventional, complementary and alternative approaches, integrative medicine has exceeded beyond the evaluation of complementary therapies. However, it is noteworthy that there has been a dilemma of providing substantial evidence supporting the efficacy of some complementary and alternative therapies. This study's goals were to analyze publication trends, most productive journals, most productive funding agencies, most productive authors, most relevant keywords, and countries in the field of integrative medicine research. Additionally, science mapping included country collaboration analysis and thematic evolution analysis. The findings from this study showed a constant rise in annual growth of publications from 2000 to 2019; the United States was dominant in various analysis categories. In conclusion, a comprehensive review of the evolution of research of integrative medicine will help healthcare providers understand an overview of the present status while encouraging more evidence-based research for the betterment of integrative patient care.
整合医学已成为患者护理的重要组成部分。它提供以患者为中心的护理,注重预防和整体健康。随着越来越多的患者倾向于将传统、补充和替代方法相结合,整合医学的研究范围已经超越了对补充疗法的评估。然而,值得注意的是,提供一些补充和替代疗法的疗效的大量证据一直存在困境。本研究旨在分析整合医学研究领域的出版趋势、最具影响力的期刊、最具影响力的资助机构、最具影响力的作者、最相关的关键词和国家。此外,科学图谱还包括国家合作分析和主题演变分析。本研究结果表明,从 2000 年到 2019 年,出版物的年增长率持续上升;美国在各个分析类别中占据主导地位。总之,对整合医学研究演变的全面回顾将有助于医疗保健提供者了解当前的现状,同时鼓励更多基于证据的研究,以改善整合患者护理。
