Abstract
Background: Workplace violence is a significant issue in healthcare settings, affecting the physical and psychological health of healthcare professionals and compromising patient care quality. Despite growing concerns, a comprehensive understanding of the research landscape remains limited.
Objective: This study aims to analyze the research hotspots and trends in workplace violence among healthcare professionals through bibliometric and visualization analysis, providing insights into the current state of research and identifying future directions.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of the Web of Science database from inception to August 10, 2024, identifying relevant studies on workplace violence among healthcare professionals. A total of 937 publications were included for analysis. Bibliometric and visualization analysis software (CiteSpace, VOSviewer, BICOMB, and gCLUTO) were used to analyze authors, affiliations, and keywords, and to visualize research trends and hotspots.
Results: Our analysis revealed 9 distinct clusters of research hotspots, including risk factors, affected departments, demographics, and impacts of workplace violence. Key findings indicate that emergency departments and nursing staff are particularly vulnerable, with significant impacts on mental health and job satisfaction. The study also highlights the increasing trend of publications over the years, reflecting growing research interest in this area.
Conclusion: The findings reveal that workplace violence is a significant issue affecting the mental and physical health of healthcare professionals, with notable impacts on job satisfaction, patient care quality, and overall organizational climate. Future efforts should focus on strengthening collaborations and developing targeted interventions to mitigate workplace violence, thereby enhancing the safety and quality of healthcare services.
医疗专业人员工作场所暴力的研究热点和趋势：基于Web of Science的文献计量学和可视化分析。
背景：工作场所暴力是医疗保健环境中的一个重要问题，影响医疗保健专业人员的身心健康，损害患者护理质量。尽管越来越多的关注，但对研究前景的全面了解仍然有限。目的：本研究旨在通过文献计量学和可视化分析，分析医护人员工作场所暴力的研究热点和趋势，了解研究现状，确定未来发展方向。方法：我们对Web of Science数据库从成立到2024年8月10日进行了全面的检索，确定了卫生保健专业人员工作场所暴力的相关研究。共纳入937份出版物进行分析。利用文献计量和可视化分析软件（CiteSpace、VOSviewer、BICOMB、gCLUTO）对作者、隶属关系、关键词进行分析，并对研究趋势和热点进行可视化分析。结果：我们的分析揭示了9个不同的研究热点集群，包括风险因素、受影响部门、人口统计学和工作场所暴力的影响。主要研究结果表明，急诊科和护理人员尤其脆弱，对心理健康和工作满意度有重大影响。该研究还强调了多年来出版物的增长趋势，反映了对该领域日益增长的研究兴趣。结论：研究结果显示，职场暴力是影响医护人员身心健康的重要问题，对工作满意度、患者护理质量和整体组织氛围均有显著影响。今后的努力应侧重于加强合作和制定有针对性的干预措施，以减轻工作场所暴力，从而提高保健服务的安全性和质量。
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare (JMDH) aims to represent and publish research in healthcare areas delivered by practitioners of different disciplines. This includes studies and reviews conducted by multidisciplinary teams as well as research which evaluates or reports the results or conduct of such teams or healthcare processes in general. The journal covers a very wide range of areas and we welcome submissions from practitioners at all levels and from all over the world. Good healthcare is not bounded by person, place or time and the journal aims to reflect this. The JMDH is published as an open-access journal to allow this wide range of practical, patient relevant research to be immediately available to practitioners who can access and use it immediately upon publication.
