This study aimed to visualize the evidence in the global research on health education to better improve the nation's health literacy and to guide future research.
We searched the Web of Science (Core Collection) electronic databases. The search strategies: topic: ("Health Education" OR "Education, Health" OR "Community Health Education" OR "Education, Community Health" OR "Health Education, Community") AND document: (Article) AND language:(English). Articles of evidence from January 2011 to December 2021 with those words in the title or abstract or keywords will be included in this review. We used the Citespace 5.6.R5 (64-bit) to investigate and determine the thematic patterns, and emerging trends of the knowledge domain, and presented a narrative account of the findings.
We analyzed 10,273 eligible articles. It showed that BMC Public Health displays the most prolific journals. Author MARCO PAHOR is highlighted in health education. The University of Sydney has published the most studies about health education. The USA plays an important role in these studies. Specifically, the visualization shows several hotspots: disease prevalence surveys and a specific population of knowledge, attitude and practice surveys, health intervention, chronic and non-communicable management, youth-health action, sexual and reproductive health, and physical activity promotion. Furthermore, document co-citation analysis indicated that there are 10 main clusters, which means the research front in health education. Meanwhile, by the citation detected, COVID-19, has achieved universal health coverage in related studies, however, public health education and the health workforce might be more popular in the coming years.
Health education is an effective measure to shift the concept of public health and improve healthy living standards. The present study facilitates an extensive understanding of the basic knowledge and research frontiers that are pivotal for the developmental process of health education and allows scholars to visualize the identification modes and tendencies.
本研究旨在对全球健康教育研究进行可视化,以更好地提高国民健康素养,并指导未来的研究。
我们在 Web of Science(核心合集)电子数据库中进行了搜索。搜索策略为:主题:(“健康教育”或“教育,健康”或“社区健康教育”或“教育,社区健康”或“社区健康教育”)且文献:(文章)且语言:(英语)。将包含标题、摘要或关键词中这些词的 2011 年 1 月至 2021 年 12 月期间的证据文章纳入本综述。我们使用 Citespace 5.6.R5(64 位)来调查和确定知识领域的主题模式和新兴趋势,并以叙述的方式呈现研究结果。
我们分析了 10,273 篇符合条件的文章。结果表明,BMC Public Health 显示了最具影响力的期刊。健康教育领域的作者 MARCO PAHOR 备受关注。悉尼大学发表了最多关于健康教育的研究。美国在这些研究中发挥了重要作用。具体而言,可视化显示了几个热点:疾病流行率调查和特定人群的知识、态度和实践调查、健康干预、慢性和非传染性疾病管理、青年健康行动、性与生殖健康以及体育活动促进。此外,文献共被引分析表明,存在 10 个主要聚类,这意味着健康教育的研究前沿。同时,通过被引检测,COVID-19 在相关研究中已实现全民健康覆盖,但在未来几年,公共卫生教育和卫生人力可能会更受欢迎。
健康教育是转变公共卫生观念和提高健康生活水平的有效措施。本研究促进了对健康教育基础理论和研究前沿的广泛理解,为健康教育的发展过程提供了关键知识,使学者能够直观地识别模式和趋势。
