Abstract

Background

Nursing students bullying remains a key issue affecting their career preparation and development in healthcare. It is necessary to analyze research hotspots, trends through bibliometric statistics in order to identify the future research directions and provide targeted interventions.

Aim

The researchers conducted a bibliometric review on the bullying of nursing students.

Methods

We used the Web of Science Core Collection database to determine the most frequently cited studies on the bullying of nursing students. VOSviewer and CiteSpace were used to conduct bibliometric analysis.

Results

A total of 152 documents were retrieved from the WOSCC database, and we observed an increasing trend in publications over time. The United States was the leading contributor for research productivity. The author with the highest number of publications and the most cited author was Birks M. Nurse Education Today was the top journal in this area. ‘Bullying in the Nursing Profession’ by Randle J. was the most cited article. The research hotspots include three main areas: the types of bullying behaviors, experiential dimensions, and intervention. The burst vocabulary showed that the health, harassment, and intention of bullying of nursing students have a significant potential to become an emerging hotspot.

Conclusion

There is a growing body of research examining the bullying of nursing students. These findings provide invaluable insights for nursing education.

护生欺凌：基于Web of Science数据库的文献计量分析

护生欺凌是影响护生职业准备和发展的重要问题。有必要通过文献计量统计分析研究热点、趋势，以确定未来的研究方向，提供有针对性的干预措施。目的对护理专业学生的欺凌行为进行文献计量分析。方法利用Web of Science Core Collection数据库，选取被引频次最高的护生欺凌相关研究。使用VOSviewer和CiteSpace进行文献计量学分析。结果从WOSCC数据库共检索到152篇文献，随着时间的推移，我们观察到出版物数量呈增加趋势。美国是研究生产力的主要贡献者。发表论文数量最多、被引用次数最多的作者是Birks M.《今日护士教育》，是该领域的顶级期刊。Randle J.的《护理职业中的欺凌》是被引用最多的文章。研究热点主要包括欺凌行为类型、体验维度和干预三个方面。突发词汇表明，护理学生的健康、骚扰和欺凌意图有很大的潜力成为一个新兴的热点。结论越来越多的研究调查了护理专业学生的欺凌行为。这些发现为护理教育提供了宝贵的见解。
