The literature sources were main in journal articles published in 269 kinds of journals. The types of literatures focused on clinical trials followed by reviews and case analysis. There were 191 (13.08%) literatures cited more than 5 times and the highest times cited were 165 times. There were 85 literatures supported by research fund accounted for 5.79%. Conclusions In recent years, perioperative pain nursing has attracted much attention by researchers in China. However, the group of core authors has not be built. Besides, study types were unbalanced and the overall quality of literatures was low.
