Aims:
To evaluate the research frontiers and evolution laws in the field of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) and to predict the next direction of development.
Background:
In recent years, the clinical applications of ERAS have been widely recognized by the medical community. Nursing work is present throughout the entire process, and nurses not only play a role in multidisciplinary coordination but also maintain independent professional characteristics.
Methods:
The citation analysis method was used to analyse the research documents in the Web of Science database over the last 10 years.
Results:
The number of documents in the field published from 2011 to 2020 increased annually. The application in colorectal surgery was the most important research frontier. From 2016 to 2020, the research frontiers were diversified. The application in colorectal surgery remains the most important research frontier, and perioperative nursing will play an important role in the future.
Conclusions:
This study used citation analysis to analyse the research frontiers and evolution of ERAS in the last 10 years.
Implications For Nursing Management:
This research will help nursing managers to carry out research and clinical promotion plans in the ERAS field and guide the transformation of scientific research achievements into nursing practice.
