Bibliometric methods may be used to examine research trends, and information visualisation techniques are useful in illustrating the diffusion of knowledge and how theories are applied.
The present study aimed to illustrate how Orem's Self-Care Deficiency Nursing Theory (SCDNT) has been cited and applied in nursing science and beyond.
A bibliometric analysis examined scientific publications that cited Orem's nursing theory. In addition, the diffusion of SCDNT was assessed using data visualisation methods and integration scores of SCDNT versions were calculated to define trends in its theoretical usage in other scientific domains.
The information visualisation demonstrated increased usage of SCDTN in different disciplines. Integration scores demonstrated that the scientific community still recognises and uses versions of SCDTN.
Studying citation patterns helps to identify which publications are still cited and relevant, as well as illustrating the dissemination of theory. Findings may be used in the collection weeding of SCDTN book versions.
Findings provided nursing scientists with a better conceptual understanding of SCDNT diffusion and development. For academic library managers, the findings identify which SCDNT should be retained for historical interest and curriculum needs.
文献计量方法可用于研究研究趋势，信息可视化技术有助于说明知识的传播以及理论的应用方式。
本研究旨在阐明奥瑞姆自护缺陷护理理论（SCDNT）在护理科学及其他领域的被引用和应用情况。
进行文献计量分析，以考察引用奥瑞姆护理理论的科学出版物。此外，运用数据可视化方法评估SCDNT的传播情况，并计算SCDNT各版本的整合分数，以确定其在其他科学领域的理论应用趋势。
信息可视化显示SCDTN在不同学科中的使用有所增加。整合分数表明科学界仍认可并使用SCDTN的各版本。
研究引用模式有助于确定哪些出版物仍被引用且具有相关性，同时也能说明理论的传播情况。研究结果可用于SCDTN书籍版本的馆藏剔除工作。
研究结果使护理科学家对SCDNT的传播与发展有了更好的概念性理解。对于学术图书馆管理者而言，研究结果明确了哪些SCDNT版本应基于历史意义和课程需求予以保留。
