Abstract
Objectives This work aims to comprehensively characterize hotspots and frontier landscapes concerning diabetes-specific distress from 2000 to 2018. Materials and Methods Firstly, diabetes-specific distress-related literature was retrieved and downloaded from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Secondly, WoSCC self-contained toolkits and GraphPad Prism7 were conducted to analyze general characteristics, including literature products, countries, institutes, authors, and journal resource. Finally, CiteSpace V Toolkits was put forward to implement advanced analysis, consisting of keyword-term frequency and co-occurrence, references-cited frequency and co-occurrence, and burst detection for keyword terms and references cited, which uncovers the hotspots and frontiers of diabetes-specific distress. Results After preprocessing, our study included a total of 1051 papers concerning diabetes-specific distress. Publication outputs increased smoothly year by year. Compared with other journals, diabetic medicine delivered the largest number of documents. The United States occupied the leading positions, and the most productive institution was the University of California System in terms of literature products. Fisher L. has the highest references-cited frequency. Prevalence of diabetes-specific distress, diabetes-specific distress and glycemic control, diabetes-specific distress and depression comorbidity, and diabetes-specific distress and risk factors were the research hotspots, whereas the measure of diabetes-specific distress and latent and serious/severe diabetes-specific distress was the research frontiers. Conclusions Overall, our study may inspire researchers to show great interest in diabetes-specific distress in the next few years.
Highlights
An overwhelmingly increasing number of publications over the past decades have suggested that diabetes mellitus is one of the most frequently diagnosed noninfectious chronic diseases and ranks first on the incidence of complications in noncommunicable chronic disorders [1–4]
A large-sample retrospective study has demonstrated that 36% of patients with type 2 diabetes suffered from diabetes-specific distress, which uncovered that diabetes-specific distress is not uncommon nowadays
Flow Chart for Selection Criteria. e criteria for selecting publications are shown as follows (Figure 1(a)): (1) time interval covering 2000 to 2018; (2) publications indexed in Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC); (3) documents published on endocrine and psychology category; (4) articles and reviews
Summary
An overwhelmingly increasing number of publications over the past decades have suggested that diabetes mellitus is one of the most frequently diagnosed noninfectious chronic diseases and ranks first on the incidence of complications in noncommunicable chronic disorders [1–4]. The association between diabetes-related psychological disorders and prognosis of diabetes has been widely studied during the past 30 years [10–12]. Research on diabetes-related psychological disorders has been mostly restricted to anxiety and depression [13–15]. A large-sample retrospective study has demonstrated that 36% of patients with type 2 diabetes suffered from diabetes-specific distress, which uncovered that diabetes-specific distress is not uncommon nowadays. An association analysis has indicated that diabetes-specific distress frequently occurred in diabetes mellitus with a higher incidence of depressive
