Abstract

Aim

The purpose of this study was to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the thematic advances and trajectory of compassion fatigue, compassion satisfaction, secondary traumatic stress, and professional quality of life in the field of nursing.

Design

Bibliometric analytic methods.

Methods

The Bibliometrix Package in R software was used to analyze the data and create the graphic illustrations. The methods used included descriptive analysis, citation analysis, collaboration analysis, co-word analysis, and thematic map analysis.

Data sources

On April 5, 2025, bibliometric data was downloaded from the Web of Science Core Collection database.

Findings

The analysis showed that 3053 authors produced relevant publications between 2001 and 2024, resulting in 1408 author keywords. Over the past 24 years, there has been a generally rising trend in published papers, with an annual growth rate of 23.81 %. The fundamental themes forming the field's backbone were: “empathy,” “compassion fatigue,” “secondary,” “compassion,” and “qualitative.” The main hot research topics were: “mindfulness” and “death.”

Conclusions

The growing understanding of the significance of professional quality of life in nursing research is reflected in the bibliometric study, which shows a notable growth in research on the topic. The results show increased interest internationally, with varied collaboration patterns between nations.

Reporting method

Complying with accepted bibliometric reporting guidelines (specifically, the EQUATOR recommendations).

No patient or public contribution

This study was not designed, conducted, analyzed, interpreted, or prepared by patients; rather, it is based entirely on previously published material.

护理研究中同情疲劳、同情满意度、二次创伤应激与职业生活质量的文献计量学研究

目的通过文献计量学分析护理领域同情疲劳、同情满意度、二次创伤应激和职业生活质量的主题进展和轨迹。设计文献计量分析方法。方法采用R软件中的Bibliometrix Package进行数据分析，并制作图形插图。研究方法包括描述分析、引文分析、合作分析、共词分析和专题图分析。数据来源2025年4月5日，从Web of Science Core Collection数据库下载了文献计量学数据。分析结果显示，2001年至2024年间，3053位作者发表了相关论文，产生了1408个作者关键词。在过去的24年中，发表的论文总体呈上升趋势，年增长率为23.81%。构成该领域主干的基本主题是：“同理心”、“同情疲劳”、“次要”、“同情”和“定性”。主要的研究热点是：“正念”和“死亡”。文献计量学研究反映了对职业生活质量在护理研究中的重要性的日益认识，这表明该主题的研究显着增长。结果显示，国际上的兴趣增加了，国家之间的合作模式也有所不同。报告方法遵循公认的文献计量报告指南（特别是EQUATOR的建议）。本研究不是由患者设计、实施、分析、解释或准备的；相反，它完全基于以前发表的材料。
