Visual analysis on research hotspots and trends in mental health protection for rescue workers during public health emergencies based on CiteSpace

Abstract

Abstract:

Objective To explore the current research status，hotspots，and development trends in the field of mental health protection for emergency public event rescue personnel at home and abroad through CiteSpace visualization analysis，providing reference for maintaining the mental health of rescue personnel. Methods The data were extracted from the CNKI and Web of Science Core Collection databases from January 2007 to December 2024. The CiteSpace 6.3.R1 was employed for keyword co-occurrence，clustering，and burst detection analyses. Results A total of 114 Chinese and 155 English publications were included. The publication volume in China exhibited fluctuating trends，peaking in 2020 followed by a significant decline，and leading contributing institutions were primarily affiliated with the military. Conversely，international publications demonstrated fluctuating growth，with the United States being the predominant contributor. The domestic research primarily focused on the mental health，psychological stress，and depression of diverse rescue personnel，predominantly utilizing qualitative research methodologies. The international studies，however，placed greater emphasis on post-traumatic stress disorder（PTSD） and emphasized cross-disciplinary integration，notably within emergency medicine and substance abuse. The research priorities diverged temporally between domestic and international contexts. The key emerging trends in the field included psychological interventions for rescue personnel，health risks，PTSD，resilience，burnout，and substance abuse. Conclusions The current research on the psychological health protection for emergency public rescue personnel remains limited and fragmented. Future efforts should prioritize research investment in this field，foster interdisciplinary collaboration，develop personalized and precision-driven intelligent psychological interventions，strengthen policy frameworks and social service systems，and establish an integrated mental health protection system spanning the entire disaster response continuum.
