Visual analysis of home management of lung cancer based on Web of Science

Background: This study explores the development status, research hotspots, and frontiers of lung cancer home management through visual analysis of lung cancer home management literature, providing reference for subsequent research. Methods: The relevant literatures about home management of lung cancer included in Web of Science from 2000 to 2022 were searched by computer. CiteSpace (6.1.R3) was used to draw the research country, co-cited articles, keyword co-occurrence and time axis of co-cited clustering map of lung cancer home management literature. Results: 171 articles were included. The countries with more documents are the United States, China and Japan. The cooperation between countries is centered on the United States. The intermediary role of the United States is obvious. The co-cited articles show that the reliability and validity of the scale, aerobic exercise training and natural radon gas have an important impact on the research of home management of lung cancer. The research keywords focus on lung cancer, exercise, quality of life, etc. Conclusion: There are few researches on home management of lung cancer. In the future research, more attention should be paid to the research related to home management of lung cancer. Nurse managers need to be more aware of the new era of directing nursing care into home care. So as to improve the quality of life of lung cancer patients at home and promote their rehabilitation.
