Summary
Nursing research on infection control highlights key topics like sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pregnancy. Further investigation into viral infections and hospital-acquired infections is recommended for future nursing strategies.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Research
- Infection Control
- Bibliometrics
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic increases nurses' infection control responsibilities.
- Analyzing nursing research data is crucial for developing infection control strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze and visualize accumulated nursing research data on infection control.
- To identify influential keywords and major topics in nursing infection control research.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of 4854 articles from 1978-2017.
- Network analysis using the semantic network module on article abstracts.
Main Results:
- Keywords like 'wound', 'injury', 'breast', 'diabetes', and 'cleaning' were identified as influential.
- Major research topics included people living with HIV (PLWH), pregnancy, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Conclusions:
- Nursing research has extensively covered STIs (including HIV), pregnancy, and bacterial infections.
- Future research should focus more on viral infections, urinary tract infections, immune topics, and hospital-acquired infections.

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in a healthcare facility while a person receives care for another ailment. This category also includes work-related infections among healthcare staff.
HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies.
