Abstract:

Objective: The objective of the study is to provide a reference for further research on the burden of dementia patients by studying the relationship between the burden of disease in dementia patients and the existing problems. Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted on the main contents and related characteristics of the literatures in CBM, VIP, CNKI and WanFang databases. Results: A total of 147 articles were included in this study and about 122 articles (83.0%) were periodical ones. Literatures from Beijing enjoyed the largest share of 24 articles (16.4%); 86.4% of the first author were from hospitals and universities. All articles were published in 76 kinds of journals and Chinese Journal of Gerontology had the biggest share, about 5.4%. Cooperation degree of the authors was 3.21 and coauthor rate was 74.8%. Most research objects were caregivers, accounting for 57.8% and 6.8% of the literatures were carried out in multidimensional burden. Forty five (45) papers were supported by funds and 22 literatures were cited more than 20 times. Conclusion: The research on the burden of disease in dementia patients is more and more concerned by researchers. However, the quality, breadth and depth of overall research need to be strengthened to improve the research and reduce the burden of dementia patients
