Abstract: Objective To analyze the research hotspot of critical care nursing abroad in recent 5 years,in order to provide reference for critical care nursing research in China. Methods PubMed database was searched for articles related to critical care nursing from 2017 to 2022. Bicomb software was used for word frequency analysis,and gCLUTO software was used for cluster analysis. Results A total of 1 263 articles related to critical care nursing were included,the number of publications reached the highest level from 2018 to 2020,and showed a downward trend in the past two years. Forty-four high-frequency keywords were extracted,and the cumulative percentage of occurrence frequency was 55.50%. Four research hotspots of critical care were summarized by cluster analysis,which were humanistic care of critical care nursing,working environment of critical care,clinical nursing practice of critical care and nursing of special critical diseases. Conclusion In recent years,the research objects and contents extended and deepened. The research objects included ICU nurses,patients and their families. The research contents involved humanistic care,clinical practice and working environment,focused on clinical difficulties such as surrogate decision-making,auxiliary communication and hospice care of ICU patients. In the future,we still need to summarize the hotspots of critical care nursing research in order to provide ideas for further exploring the depth and breadth of critical care nursing research.
