To investigate research hotspots and trends in nursing education from 2014 to 2020, and provide references for researchers to understand the research status and developing trends in this field.
A co-word analysis based on keywords.
Data were obtained from nursing education-related academic research articles that were retrieved through a literature search using PubMed during the period of 2014-2020. Keywords included in the analysis of literature were considered as the research objects. Bibliographic Item Co-occurrence Matrix Builder (BICOMB) was employed to extract high-frequency keywords and generate co-occurrence matrix, graphical clustering toolkit (gCLUTO) was used to perform cluster analysis, and SPSS 25.0 was used to perform strategic diagram analysis.
Overall, 7857 articles were retrieved, from which 2679 keywords were obtained and 64 high-frequency keywords extracted. The results revealed seven hotspots in nursing education during the period of 2014-2020, which included research on: (i) continuing education in nursing, (ii) application and influence of the internet in nursing education, (iii) postgraduate nursing education, (iv) undergraduate nursing education and clinical quality training, (v) current development status and tendency of nursing education, (vi) nursing teaching methods and (vii) organization and management in nursing education.
The seven research hotspots could reflect the publication trends in nursing education. By providing a co-word analysis-including cluster and strategic diagram analysis-an overall command of the latest hotspots can be depicted, and researchers conducting research in nursing education can have some hints.
This study allows the development of future research on nursing education. Future researchers should explore the application of new network technologies in the process of nursing teaching, quality of postgraduate nursing education, innovative teaching methods as well as teaching strategies of improving students' clinical ability, current situation of economics and leadership in nursing education and ability of organization and management in undergraduate nursing education.
探讨 2014 年至 2020 年护理教育的研究热点和趋势，为研究者了解该领域的研究现状和发展趋势提供参考。
基于关键词的共词分析。
从 2014 年至 2020 年通过文献检索在 PubMed 上检索护理教育相关学术研究文章，获取的文献中包含的关键词被视为研究对象。使用 Bibliographic Item Co-occurrence Matrix Builder (BICOMB) 提取高频关键词并生成共词矩阵，使用图形聚类工具包（gCLUTO）进行聚类分析，使用 SPSS 25.0 进行战略图分析。
共检索到 7857 篇文章，从中获取 2679 个关键词，提取出 64 个高频关键词。结果显示，2014 年至 2020 年护理教育有 7 个研究热点，包括：（i）护理继续教育，（ii）互联网在护理教育中的应用和影响，（iii）研究生护理教育，（iv）本科护理教育和临床质量培训，（v）护理教育的当前发展状况和趋势，（vi）护理教学方法和（vii）护理教育的组织和管理。
这 7 个研究热点可以反映护理教育的发表趋势。通过共词分析（包括聚类和战略图分析），可以全面描绘最新热点，为从事护理教育研究的人员提供一些启示。
本研究为护理教育的未来研究提供了方向。未来的研究人员应该探索新网络技术在护理教学过程中的应用、研究生护理教育质量、创新教学方法以及提高学生临床能力的教学策略、护理教育的经济和领导力现状以及本科护理教育的组织和管理能力。
