The number of published journal articles, journal distribution, authors of publications, country of origin of journals, and language of publications were analyzed to establish a high-frequency keyword profile and co-occurrence matrix.

The two-way clustering analysis showed that there were mainly four types of research themes in the relevant publications in countries other than China during 2005–2009, i.e., nursing education and theoretical research, clinical nursing and psychological care, nursing administration, and models of nursing education, whereas there were five types during 2010–2014, i.e., nursing theories and clinical nursing practice, nursing administration models and assessments of nurses' knowledge and skills, community nursing administration models, nursing human resource management, and nursing education models and approaches.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>Research on nursing models in countries other than China is relatively mature and stable with a broader view, but it has shown a declining trend in recent years.
