Abstract:Objective Through the bibliometric study of nursing literature of brachial plexus injury in China, the research focus and development direction of this field are clarified. Methods The key words “brachial plexus”, “injury”,and “nursing” were used to search China National Knowledge Network, Wanfang Medical network,and VIP Chinese database, The retrieval period was from the establishment to December 2021. Data mining and mapping were carried out through the database literature visualization analysis system of China National Knowledge Infrastructure, excel, CiteSpace V,and other software. The number of annual publications, published journals, publishing units,and keywords were analyzed statistically and cluster. Results At present, there were only 114 papers related to the nursing of brachial plexus injury in China. Among the top ten journals in terms of the number of published articles, only four were statistical source journals, and the others were general journals; among the top ten medical institutions, there were five hospitals featured with orthopedics, one hospital featured with neurology, one hospital featured with pediatrics, and the rest were comprehensive hospitals. However, there were no secondary or community hospitals in the top ten institutions; in this field, rehabilitation nursing, psychological nursing, functional exercise and functional recovery were the most concerned problems at present. Conclusion At present, the most effective treatment for brachial plexus injury is surgery. Therefore, active rehabilitation and nursing work after surgery are of great significance for the functional recovery and symptom improvement of brachial plexus injury. However, the research field of brachial plexus injury nursing in China is relatively weak and develops slowly. At this stage, the main development direction is rehabilitation nursing and psychological nursing, in addition, relevant medical workers are urged to pay attention to the nursing work of brachial plexus injury, accelerate the research process in this field, so as to provide more effective and scientific data support and ideas for the clinical nursing work of patients with brachial plexus injury.
