Abstract

Objective: To summarize the research progress of medical emotional labor in China, and provide data reference for medical workers in the field of emotional labor. Methods: In March 2020, we searched the research content of emotional labor of medical workers through CNKI system, and analyzed it by using CiteSpace software. We visualized the topic of emotional labor of medical workers by using the knowledge map formed by keyword co-occurrence and keyword clustering, as well as the emergent words and time zone map. The analysis contents include the basic information characteristics of the selected literature, research hotspots and topics, research trends and frontiers. Results: The first related literature was published in 2008, and 126 related literatures were retrieved. Research hotspots include 'emotional labor', 'nurse', 'work burnout', 'medical staff' and 'work satisfaction', etc. Topics can be divided into three categories: research objects, variables affecting factors and medical workplace. There are 24 emergent words. In 2008, 2011, 2013, and 2015, important turning points for research changes exist. Conclusion: In the future, researchers in China can try to broaden the scope of medical subjects and influencing factors, etc., and be closely linked to the results of existing studies.
