Spiritual intelligence (SI) has recently gained traction in various fields, including nursing. Given the increasing emphasis on patient-centred care and the holistic well-being of patients and nurses, SI is particularly relevant in nursing practice. A bibliometric analysis of recent publications (2014-2024) in the field helps synthesise and evaluate the existing research on SI in the general field of nursing, identify literature gaps, suggest future research directions and raise awareness of the importance of SI in nursing practice. The present study reports bibliometric data (n = 461) from the Scopus database on SI, spiritual quotient and spiritual care in nursing and health care. The data are analysed using MS Excel and VOSviewer software. The publications' trend analysis revealed a significant increase in SI-related publications since 2015. The study presents top-cited articles. Journal of Religion and Health was found to be a prominent journal with the maximum number of publications, and Sage was found to be the top publisher of journals with articles on SI. Network visualisation reveals central figures such as Wilfred McSherry, Trove Giske, Elizabeth Johnston Taylor, Fiona Timmins, Silvia Caldeira and Linda Ross as key researchers in the field. The United States and Iran have the most substantial connections of authors publishing on SI. This study reveals an increasing interest in SI and care within nursing research, confirming its growing significance in the field. By reporting areas where research on SI in nursing remains underdeveloped, the study paves the way for the development of new or updated curricula in nursing programs. The study can guide faculty development initiatives by highlighting the importance of SI and providing resources for educators to incorporate these concepts into their teaching. This study presents specific research questions to address these knowledge gaps. Future studies which can address these questions will enrich nursing education and practice, leading to improved patient outcomes and enhanced nurse well-being using the full potential of SI in nursing practice.
精神智力（SI）最近在包括护理在内的各个领域受到关注。鉴于对以患者为中心的护理以及患者和护士整体福祉的日益重视，精神智力在护理实践中尤为重要。对该领域近期（2014 - 2024年）出版物进行文献计量分析，有助于综合和评估护理一般领域中关于精神智力的现有研究，识别文献空白，提出未来研究方向，并提高对精神智力在护理实践中重要性的认识。本研究报告了来自Scopus数据库的关于护理和医疗保健中精神智力、精神商数和精神护理的文献计量数据（n = 461）。使用MS Excel和VOSviewer软件对数据进行分析。出版物趋势分析显示，自2015年以来，与精神智力相关的出版物显著增加。该研究展示了被引用次数最多的文章。发现《宗教与健康杂志》是发表文章数量最多的著名期刊，Sage是发表关于精神智力文章的顶级期刊出版商。网络可视化显示，威尔弗雷德·麦克谢里、特罗夫·吉斯克、伊丽莎白·约翰斯顿·泰勒、菲奥娜·廷明斯、西尔维娅·卡尔德拉和琳达·罗斯等核心人物是该领域的关键研究人员。美国和伊朗在发表关于精神智力文章的作者方面联系最为紧密。这项研究揭示了护理研究中对精神智力和护理的兴趣日益增加，证实了其在该领域日益增长的重要性。通过报告护理中精神智力研究仍不发达的领域，该研究为护理项目新的或更新的课程开发铺平了道路。该研究可以通过强调精神智力的重要性并为教育工作者提供将这些概念纳入教学的资源来指导教师发展倡议。本研究提出了具体的研究问题以解决这些知识空白。能够解决这些问题的未来研究将丰富护理教育和实践，利用精神智力在护理实践中的全部潜力改善患者结局并提高护士的福祉。
