Grief is a natural and individualized response to different losses, but if grief persists or becomes pathological, professional interventions are required. Grief and corresponding interventions have received increasing attention, as the related concepts have been incorporated into the DSM-5 and ICD-11. Therefore, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to explore the developments in the field of grief intervention research.
Articles on grief interventions were systematically searched and screened from the Web of Science Core Collection. The retrieved data were analyzed and visualized using VOSviewer and Bibliometrix software for journals, authors, institutions, countries, references, and keywords.
A total of 9,754 articles were included. The number of articles on grief interventions has increased significantly each year since 1990. was the journal that published the most articles in this field. We identified 25,140 authors contributed to this research area and these authors were from 123 countries and 6,630 institutions. Boelen PA secured the first position in article production, Columbia University emerged as the most productive affiliation and the United States was the foremost leading in grief intervention research. The prevalent keywords utilized in this field comprised bereavement, grief, death, depression, and palliative care.
The quantity of publications regarding grief interventions is increasing. Although most prior studies have focused on mortality, grief, and health, emerging themes such as COVID-19, grief among workers, and disfranchised grief have drawn increasing attention in recent years. Future studies may focus on investigating the complexities and challenges of grief, including its underlying mechanisms and impact on mental well-being.
悲伤是对不同损失的自然且个性化的反应，但如果悲伤持续存在或变得病态，则需要专业干预。随着相关概念已被纳入《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第5版（DSM-5）和《国际疾病分类》第11版（ICD-11），悲伤及相应干预措施受到了越来越多的关注。因此，我们进行了一项文献计量分析，以探讨悲伤干预研究领域的发展情况。
从科学网核心合集系统检索并筛选关于悲伤干预的文章。使用VOSviewer和Bibliometrix软件对检索到的数据进行分析和可视化，涉及期刊、作者、机构、国家、参考文献和关键词。
共纳入9754篇文章。自1990年以来，关于悲伤干预的文章数量每年都显著增加。 是该领域发表文章最多的期刊。我们确定有25140位作者为该研究领域做出了贡献，这些作者来自123个国家的6630个机构。博埃伦·P·A在文章发表量上位居第一，哥伦比亚大学是产出最多的机构，美国在悲伤干预研究方面处于领先地位。该领域普遍使用的关键词包括丧亲之痛、悲伤、死亡、抑郁和姑息治疗。
关于悲伤干预的出版物数量在增加。尽管大多数先前的研究都集中在死亡率、悲伤和健康方面，但近年来，诸如2019冠状病毒病、工作者的悲伤和被剥夺权利的悲伤等新出现的主题受到了越来越多的关注。未来的研究可能会侧重于调查悲伤的复杂性和挑战，包括其潜在机制及其对心理健康的影响。
