Patients with dementia experience a variety of neuropsychiatric symptoms and behavioral disturbances. The Montessori method is a type of non-pharmacological intervention to care for people with dementia. However, there are few bibliometric studies on the application of Montessori methods. We aimed to analyze the hotspots and trends of research on the application of Montessori methods to the care of dementia patients. Microsoft Office Excel, Co-Occurrence 9.9, and CiteSpace were used to analyze the articles on Montessori intervention in patients with dementia from 2000 to 2021 in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, China Science and Technology Journal Database, Web of Science core collection database, PubMed, and Scopus. A total of 23 Chinese language publications and 113 English language publications were included. The number of English language publications was on the rise, while the number of Chinese language publications was low. There are many issuing institutions which published articles in this field, mostly concentrated in universities. English language publication sources were more than Chinese language publication sources. The hot research topic in Chinese language publications and English language publications was the care of agitated behavior of dementia patients based on the Montessori method. The psychological problems of dementia patients are likely to become a hot issue of concern for scholars in Chinese. There will be a lot of research focusing on dementia patients and their family caregivers in this field. The bibliometric and visualization analysis helps us understand the current research status and hotspots of Montessori intervention in dementia patients in Chinese language publications and English language publications.
痴呆症患者会经历各种神经精神症状和行为障碍。蒙台梭利方法是一种用于照顾痴呆症患者的非药物干预措施。然而，关于蒙台梭利方法应用的文献计量学研究较少。我们旨在分析蒙台梭利方法在痴呆症患者护理应用方面的研究热点和趋势。使用Microsoft Office Excel、Co-Occurrence 9.9和CiteSpace对中国知网、万方、中国科技期刊数据库、Web of Science核心合集数据库、PubMed和Scopus中2000年至2021年有关蒙台梭利干预痴呆症患者的文章进行分析。共纳入23篇中文出版物和113篇英文出版物。英文出版物数量呈上升趋势，而中文出版物数量较少。有许多机构在该领域发表文章，大多集中在大学。英文出版物来源多于中文出版物来源。中文出版物和英文出版物中的热门研究主题是基于蒙台梭利方法对痴呆症患者激越行为的护理。痴呆症患者的心理问题可能会成为中国学者关注的热点问题。该领域将有许多研究聚焦于痴呆症患者及其家庭护理人员。文献计量学和可视化分析有助于我们了解中文出版物和英文出版物中蒙台梭利干预痴呆症患者的当前研究现状和热点。
