The clinical learning environment is central to nursing and midwifery education, providing critical contexts for student training and professional development. This study fills a gap by offering a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of trends in The clinical learning environment research within nursing and midwifery education.
A descriptive bibliometric study was conducted on June 7, 2024, using the Scopus database to retrieve research articles related to The clinical learning environment from 1957 until June 2024. VOSviewer software was used to analyze scientific collaborations and map co-occurrence networks of key terms.
The United States and Australia led in publications and citations. Key journals included Nurse Education Today, Nurse Education in Practice, Journal of Advanced Nursing, and Journal of Clinical Nursing. Prominent authors like Saarikoski M. Levett-Jones T. and Henderson A. significantly contributed. Co-occurrence analysis highlighted themes such as student experiences, clinical competence, psychological factors, and teaching methodologies.
This study highlights key trends in The clinical learning environment research and the significant contributions of specific countries, journals, and authors. The collaboration networks provide insights into the interrelated nature of various factors influencing the clinical learning environment. Limitations of the study include the reliance on a single database, which may not capture all relevant articles, particularly those in less prominent journals or non-English languages. Additionally, citation metrics may be influenced by factors such as self-citations or field-specific citation practices.
These insights highlight areas for future research, including the role of virtual learning environments and cultural competency in The clinical learning environment. The findings contribute to shaping future research and practice in nursing and midwifery education.
临床学习环境是护理和助产教育的核心，为学生培训和专业发展提供关键背景。本研究通过对护理和助产教育中临床学习环境研究趋势进行全面的文献计量分析，填补了这一空白。
2024年6月7日进行了一项描述性文献计量研究，使用Scopus数据库检索1957年至2024年6月期间与临床学习环境相关的研究文章。使用VOSviewer软件分析科学合作情况并绘制关键词共现网络。
美国和澳大利亚在发表文章数量和被引次数方面领先。主要期刊包括《今日护理教育》《护理实践教育》《高级护理杂志》和《临床护理杂志》。像萨里科斯基M.、莱维特-琼斯T.和亨德森A.等杰出作者做出了重大贡献。共现分析突出了学生体验、临床能力、心理因素和教学方法等主题。
本研究突出了临床学习环境研究的关键趋势以及特定国家、期刊和作者的重大贡献。合作网络揭示了影响临床学习环境的各种因素之间的相互关联性质。本研究的局限性包括依赖单一数据库，这可能无法涵盖所有相关文章，特别是那些发表在不太知名期刊或非英语语言期刊上的文章。此外，引文指标可能受到自我引用或特定领域引用惯例等因素的影响。
这些见解突出了未来研究的领域，包括虚拟学习环境的作用和文化能力在临床学习环境中的作用。研究结果有助于塑造护理和助产教育未来的研究和实践。
