This study aimed to identify high-impact papers on global nursing to determine and analyse the publication of articles on core competencies in nursing-related journals and the research trends in the era of globalization.
Bibliometrics has been shown to be an effective method for analysing publications. Through bibliometrics, nursing managers and researchers can understand the trends of high-impact international nursing core competencies research, identify mainstream research directions and obtain relevant knowledge and information, thereby facilitating the translation of research outcomes into nursing management practice.
The study adopted bibliometric analysis and the VOSviewer software to explore dynamic publication trends and analyse the current situation of nursing research from a comprehensive development perspective, which was realized by searching for nursing core competencies papers in the Web of Science (WoS) database, calculating citations and determining the trends of the most influential papers.
Nursing core competencies research grew rapidly between 1997 and 2022. Countries with the most core competencies publications were the United States, England, Australia and Canada. The Journal of Nursing Management has attracted substantial attention from researchers worldwide. Education, Management and Nurses were the most frequently used keywords in the study. A total of 534 papers were retrieved from the WoS database with the main research fields, including nursing, business economics, public environmental occupational health and health care science services.
Equipping nursing graduates with core competencies has always been an important goal of global medical and nursing education. This study analysed papers across 35 years, most of which were published in the Journal of Nursing Management. In addition, the study identified some of the main research topics of nursing management, such as the integration of education with nursing management and the cultivation of nurses' core competencies. The study also provides a fresh review of highly cited articles. The results of the study show that high-quality articles play the role of improving both the quality and the quantity of related research. By analysing the trends of the research on core competencies, this study lays a bibliometric foundation for researchers regarding international journals, hot topics and relevant fields. In addition, the highly cited articles reveal new perspectives for the nursing field, providing inspiration for nursing management and education researchers.
This study provides scholars and managers with an overview of the current situation of nursing management research and the development of benchmark journals. The study provides researchers not only with a better understanding of various international journals, allowing them to transition out of traditional thinking in the era of science and technology, but also with innovative thinking by combining research with nursing management. The results of this study invite nursing managers to study relevant topics of core competencies and integrate information technology to education, management and nurses, thereby contributing to nursing management and educational research.
本研究旨在确定全球护理学高影响力论文，以确定和分析护理相关期刊核心能力文章的发表情况，并分析全球化时代的研究趋势。
文献计量学已被证明是分析出版物的有效方法。通过文献计量学，护理管理人员和研究人员可以了解国际护理核心能力研究的高影响力趋势，确定主流研究方向，并获取相关知识和信息，从而促进研究成果转化为护理管理实践。
本研究采用文献计量分析和 Vosviewer 软件，从综合发展的角度探讨动态出版趋势和分析护理研究现状，通过在 Web of Science (WoS) 数据库中搜索护理核心能力论文，计算引文并确定最具影响力论文的趋势来实现。
1997 年至 2022 年期间，护理核心能力研究迅速发展。发表核心能力论文最多的国家是美国、英国、澳大利亚和加拿大。《护理管理杂志》吸引了来自全球研究人员的广泛关注。在该研究中，教育、管理和护士是使用最频繁的关键词。从 WoS 数据库中检索到 534 篇论文，主要研究领域包括护理、商业经济学、公共环境卫生职业健康和医疗保健科学服务。
为护理毕业生配备核心能力一直是全球医学和护理教育的重要目标。本研究分析了 35 年来的论文，其中大部分发表在《护理管理杂志》上。此外，该研究还确定了护理管理的一些主要研究课题，如教育与护理管理的融合以及护士核心能力的培养。该研究还对高引用文章进行了新的综述。研究结果表明，高质量文章不仅提高了相关研究的质量，也提高了数量。通过分析核心能力研究趋势，本研究为国际期刊、热点话题和相关领域的研究人员奠定了文献计量学基础。此外，高引用文章为护理领域提供了新的视角，为护理管理和教育研究人员提供了启示。
本研究为学者和管理人员提供了护理管理研究现状和基准期刊发展的概述。该研究不仅为研究人员提供了更好地了解各种国际期刊的机会，使他们能够在科技时代摆脱传统思维，还通过将研究与护理管理相结合，为他们提供了创新思维。本研究的结果邀请护理管理人员研究核心能力的相关主题，并将信息技术融入教育、管理和护士中，从而为护理管理和教育研究做出贡献。
