Abstract
Background: The growing role of pharmacists in cancer care highlights the need to understand research trends linking pharmaceutical education and oncology.
Objective: To quantitatively investigate the bibliometric status of the entanglement between pharmacy/pharmaceutical education and cancer-related issues, providing feasible information and suggestions for the developmental basis and research hotspots.
Methods: Bibliometric analysis was performed using the Web of Science Core Collection. Boolean operations (BO) were used to set up the literature query set. The literature published between 1985 and 2022 was screened for the types of "article" and "review." The citation analysis and research hotspot extraction were performed using the "analyze results" and "citation report" functions of Clarivate Analytics.
Results: The bibliometric analysis of 722 relevant papers showed that the global interest in the topic is increasing and the collaboration between countries is quite active. The extraction results showed that guidelines for cancer therapy, palliative care and pain management, pharmacy staff's attitudes and knowledge, and adherence to chemotherapy were the main research hotspots and that these have been long-term discussed.
Conclusion: Conducting a bibliometric study to analyze the overall publication status, developmental basis, and research hotspots will reveal the logical entanglement of the existing academic research between pharmacy/pharmaceutical education and cancer, and will provide a reference for academic development in the educational and oncological community.
背景：药剂师在癌症护理中日益重要的作用突出了了解药学教育和肿瘤学研究趋势的必要性。目的：定量调查药学/药学教育与癌症相关问题纠缠的文献计量学现状，为药学/药学教育与癌症相关问题纠缠的发展依据和研究热点提供可行性信息和建议。方法：采用Web of Science核心馆藏进行文献计量学分析。使用布尔运算（BO）建立文献查询集。对1985年至2022年间发表的文献进行了“文章”和“综述”的筛选。利用Clarivate Analytics的“分析结果”和“引文报告”功能进行引文分析和研究热点提取。结果：对722篇相关论文的文献计量分析表明，全球对该主题的兴趣正在增加，各国之间的合作相当活跃。提取结果显示，癌症治疗指南、姑息治疗和疼痛管理、药学人员的态度和知识、化疗依从性是主要的研究热点，并且这些都是长期讨论的。结论：通过文献计量学研究，分析药学/药学教育与癌症的总体出版现状、发展基础和研究热点，将揭示现有学术研究的逻辑纠缠，为教育界和肿瘤界的学术发展提供参考。
期刊介绍：
Asian Biomedicine: Research, Reviews and News (ISSN 1905-7415 print; 1875-855X online) is published in one volume (of 6 bimonthly issues) a year since 2007. [...]Asian Biomedicine is an international, general medical and biomedical journal that aims to publish original peer-reviewed contributions dealing with various topics in the biomedical and health sciences from basic experimental to clinical aspects. The work and authorship must be strongly affiliated with a country in Asia, or with specific importance and relevance to the Asian region. The Journal will publish reviews, original experimental studies, observational studies, technical and clinical (case) reports, practice guidelines, historical perspectives of Asian biomedicine, clinicopathological conferences, and commentaries
Asian biomedicine is intended for a broad and international audience, primarily those in the health professions including researchers, physician practitioners, basic medical scientists, dentists, educators, administrators, those in the assistive professions, such as nurses, and the many types of allied health professionals in research and health care delivery systems including those in training.
