Research status of occupational exposure among healthcare workers at home and abroad in the past decade based on visual analysis

Abstract

Objective To investigate the research hotspots of occupational exposure in healthcare workers at home and abroad in the past decade and future research trends.

Methods Based on the Web of Science platform, independent retrievals were performed by two researcher. The number, core authors, keywords, and other contents of articles were analyzed using CiteSpace 5.6.R2.

Results A total of 1 066 references on occupational exposure among healthcare workers from 2010 to 2019 were retrieved. These articles were mainly from the United States, Italy, France, Germany, Brazil, England, and China, with 272, 71, 56, 52 and 52 articles, respectively. One hundred and eight core authors, who mainly came from the United States and Korea, contributed 418 papers (39.2%). Current hotspots included human immune deficiency virus (HIV), workplace violence, hand eczema, fluoroscopy, antineoplastic drugs, nervous system, nitrous oxide, assessment, standard precautions, and personal protective equipment. Topics such as percutaneous injury, tuberculosis, guideline, HIV, and burnout are future research trends. Conclusions There is a need to strengthen international cooperation. It’s encouraged to develop guidelines on occupational exposure protection and to prevent long-term chronic occupational exposure, such as antineoplastic drug exposure.
