Background: Breast cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Patient self-management plays a pivotal role in enhancing outcomes and quality of life for individuals affected by this disease. This study employed bibliometric and visual analysis techniques utilizing CiteSpace to elucidate the current status and research hotspots in breast cancer patient self-management from January 1, 2005, to August 31, 2023. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). The retrieved literature was subjected to visualization and analysis using CiteSpace, focusing on publication timeline, article count, geographical distribution, institutional affiliations, journal sources, reference co-citation networks, and keyword analysis. Results: The analysis encompassed 1413 English-language documents. The United States emerged as the most prolific contributor, while the University of Toronto demonstrated the highest institutional output. The two-map overlay revealed prominent citation paths, indicating strong interconnections between publications in “Medicine, Medicine, Clinical” and “Health, Nursing, Medicine,” as well as “Psychology, Education, Health” and “Health, Nursing, Medicine.” The most frequently co-cited reference was “Self-Management: Enabling and Empowering Patients Living with Cancer as a Chronic Illness.” High-frequency keywords identified included quality of life, chronic disease, self-management, patient education, randomized controlled trials, education, and intervention. These keywords formed 11 distinct clusters related to intervention content, methodologies, outcome indicators, and emerging research trends. Keyword burst analysis predicted future research hotspots focusing on patient needs, psychological distress, Internet technology, and mobile applications. Conclusions: Research in breast cancer self-management is experiencing significant growth. Enhanced collaboration between countries, regions, and institutions is imperative. Further investigation is warranted, particularly in the domains of “quality of life,” “patient education,” and “mobile health.” These findings provide valuable insights to guide future research directions in this critical field.

BACKGROUND Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide.With significant improvements in breast cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment, the number of breast cancer survivors has significantly increased.Individuals with chronic illnesses often develop self-management skills as they cope with their condition, and these include: management of disease symptoms, detection of physiological and psychosocial changes, and lifestyle changes.Fewer studies have systematically summarised the hotspots, pathways and trends in self-care of breast cancer patients, and information on the history, current status and future trends of studies related to self-management of breast cancer patients is incomplete. OBJECTIVE Purpose: To analyze the current status, hotspots, and research trends related to self-management in breast cancer patients from 2005 to 2023 using Citespace on the Web of Science core database. METHODS Method: A search was conducted in the WoSCC from January 1, 2005, to August 31, 2023. The literature was visualised and analysed by CiteSpace 6.1.R6 for publication time, number of articles, country distribution, institutional distribution, reference co-citation, and keywords. RESULTS Results: A total of 1,413 English-language documents were included in the research on self-management of breast cancer patients from 2005 to 2023. The USA had the highest amount of issuance, while the University of Toronto had the most among institutions. The reference with the highest number of co-citations was "Self-Management: Enabling and empowering patients living with cancer as a chronic illness. "High-frequency keywords are quality of life, chronic disease, self-management, patient education, randomised controlled trials, education, intervention. These keywords formed 11 clusters related to the content of the intervention, the way of the intervention, outcome indicators, keyword burst analysis predicted that future research hotspots would focus on patient needs, psychological distress, internet technology, and mobile apps. CONCLUSIONS Conclusions: The research on breast cancer self-management is expanding rapidly. To further promote the development in this field, it’s crucial to strengthen cooperation and communication between different countries/regions and institutions. The findings suggest that there’s a need for more research in this field, particularly in areas such as patient needs and the use of technology to improve breast cancer patient self-management. Additionally, our findings offer suggestions for future research.
BackgroundThis research aims to explore the intellectual landscape of studies in perioperative enteral nutrition (PEN) and identify trends and research frontiers in the field.MethodsScientometric research was conducted through the analysis of bibliographic records from the Web of Science Core Collection Database for the period 2014–2023. Analyses performed using CiteSpace software included cooperation network analysis, reference co-citation analysis, and keywords co-occurrence analysis.ResultsThe analysis included 3,671 valid records in the final dataset. Findings indicate an upward trend in annual publications, with the United States leading in research output and Harvard University as the top publishing institution. The Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition was identified as the most productive journal. Notable research hotspots include enhanced recovery after surgery, early enteral nutrition, intestinal failure, short bowel syndrome, abdominal surgery. Evidence-based articles have emerged as the predominant literature type. Future research trends are anticipated to focus on gut microbiota and patients with congenital heart disease.ConclusionOur study provides a comprehensive analysis of the publication volume, contributions by country/region and institutions, journal outlets, and reference and keyword clusters in the field of PEN over the decade. The findings provide valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and clinicians, helping them comprehend the research landscape, identify gaps, and shape future research directions in this field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
