RESUMEN
Objective:To analyze the hot topics and trends in the field of humanistic education in pediatrics in China, and to provide a reference for the development and research of pediatric humanistic education.Methods:Relevant literature was retrieved throughout the China National Knowledge Infrastructure between database establishment and September 20, 2023, using fuzzy matching and key information. CiteSpace 6.1.6 software was used to perform a visual analysis of the year of publication, core authors, issuing institutions, and research themes.Results:A total of 284 pieces of literature were included. Research in the field of pediatric humanistic education is at the second stage of scientific literature growth. There are 8 high-frequency authors (2.14%), contributing a total of 25 articles (8.80%). The majority of articles were issued by hospitals. Humanistic care in pediatric nursing practice is one of the earliest and ongoing major research topics. Themes such as "doctor-patient communication", "humanistic literacy", and "humanistic nursing" are attracting growing attention.Conclusions:In the field of pediatric humanistic education, core groups of authors and institutions have not yet formed, and collaboration between authors and institutions is insufficient. Research hotspots in pediatric humanistic education are changing over time. Strengthening interdisciplinary and interinstitutional collaborations can help build core research teams, produce more research output, and thereby promote the development of pediatric humanistic education in China.
