Abstract

Purpose: This study evaluates the evolution and focal points of research on death anxiety among cancer patients over the last three decades, utilizing bibliometric analyses. Methods: We analyzed publications related to death anxiety among cancer patients from January 1994 to January 2024 using data from the Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric indicators such as the number of publications, leading countries, institutions, and research themes were examined. Results: A total of 2,602 papers from 286 institutions across 97 countries were identified. There has been a significant increase in research interest, particularly between 2014 and 2023, with a peak in 2022. The United States and Harvard University were found to be the most prolific contributors. Major research themes include quality of life, palliative care, mental health, and cancer-specific concerns. Conclusion: The results highlight the rapid development in the field of death anxiety research among cancer patients, with an increase in publications and emerging research themes. However, there is limited international and institutional collaboration. The study underscores the need for enhanced cooperative efforts to advance understanding and research in this area, suggesting directions for future research.

对癌症患者死亡焦虑研究的文献计量分析。

目的：本研究通过文献计量学分析，评估了过去三十年来有关癌症患者死亡焦虑的研究演变和焦点：我们利用科学网核心数据库中的数据分析了 1994 年 1 月至 2024 年 1 月期间与癌症患者死亡焦虑相关的出版物。我们对论文数量、主要国家、机构和研究主题等文献计量指标进行了研究：结果：共发现来自 97 个国家 286 个机构的 2,602 篇论文。研究兴趣明显增加，尤其是在 2014 年至 2023 年期间，2022 年达到高峰。美国和哈佛大学的论文数量最多。主要研究主题包括生活质量、姑息治疗、心理健康和癌症特定问题：研究结果凸显了癌症患者死亡焦虑研究领域的快速发展，出版物和新兴研究主题不断增加。然而，国际间和机构间的合作却很有限。这项研究强调了加强合作的必要性，以促进对这一领域的理解和研究，并为今后的研究指明了方向。
