Abstract

Purpose

Preoperative and intraoperative anxiety are closely related to perioperative treatment and disease prognosis of surgical patients. Reducing preoperative and intraoperative anxiety can greatly improve surgical efficacy. This study conducted a bibliometric analysis of both preoperative and intraoperative anxiety with the aim to summarize and make predictions in this field.

Design

A bibliometrics analysis was conducted.

Methods

Bibliometric research methods were used to download literature information from the Web of Science database; the time span was from January 1, 2003 to September 13, 2023. HistCitePro software was used for statistical analysis, and Microsoft Excel 2021 (Microsoft Corporation) was used for data statistics and chart drawing. VOSviewer (Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS), Leiden University), Pajek64, SCImago Graphica, and Rstudio were used for data visualization.

Findings

538 articles were included in the analysis. Over the past 2 decades, the number of published articles has steadily increased, reaching 79 by 2020. The United States and its universities are leading research efforts on preoperative and intraoperative anxiety. Relevant journals in the four fields of anesthesia, pain, pediatrics, and nursing are the main journals in this direction. Studies on preoperative and intraoperative anxiety were divided into five categories, each replaced by different keywords. Over time, research on anxiety reduction has gradually shifted from diseases, surgical methods, and patient cognition to modern high-tech technologies such as music and virtual reality.

Conclusions

Research on reducing preoperative and intraoperative anxiety is at an active stage. In the future, how to eliminate anxiety through high technology and modern technology will become a hot topic.

过去二十年来术前和术中焦虑的全球研究趋势：文献计量学和知识图谱分析。

目的：术前、术中焦虑与手术患者围手术期治疗及疾病预后密切相关。减少术前、术中焦虑，可大大提高手术疗效。本研究对术前和术中焦虑进行了文献计量学分析，目的是总结和预测这一领域。设计：进行文献计量学分析。方法：采用文献计量学研究方法，从Web of Science数据库中下载文献信息；时间跨度是从2003年1月1日到2023年9月13日。使用HistCitePro软件进行统计分析，使用Microsoft Excel 2021 （Microsoft Corporation）进行数据统计和图表绘制。使用VOSviewer（莱顿大学科学技术研究中心）、Pajek64、SCImago Graphica和Rstudio进行数据可视化。结果：538篇文章被纳入分析。在过去的20年里，发表的文章数量稳步增长，到2020年达到79篇。美国及其大学在术前和术中焦虑的研究方面处于领先地位。麻醉、疼痛、儿科、护理四个领域的相关期刊是该方向的主要期刊。对术前和术中焦虑的研究分为五类，每一类用不同的关键词代替。随着时间的推移，减少焦虑的研究逐渐从疾病、手术方法和患者认知转向现代高科技技术，如音乐和虚拟现实。结论：减少术前术中焦虑的研究处于活跃阶段。在未来，如何通过高科技和现代科技消除焦虑将成为一个热门话题。
