ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo analyze the trends, cooperation, topics and hotspots of researches about multi-level rehabilitation service system in China. MethodsThe literature on multi-level rehabilitation service system in China was searched and screened in databases of CNKI from 1983 to 2023. The number of the articles was described, and the cooperation, research hotspots and changing trend were analyzed using VOSviewer. ResultsA total of 4 643 articles were included. The number of the articles tended to increase and developed in stages. Nine groups with five or more researchers were found, and seven of them cooperated with each other. The most frequent keywords were community-based rehabilitation (occurrence 1 251 with connection strength 1 780), stroke (occurrence 674 with connection strength 1 126), family rehabilitation (occurrence 412 with connection strength 514), rehabilitation nursing (occurrence 178 with connection strength 240) and quality of life (occurrence 156 with connection strength 311). The researchers initially focused on disability rehabilitation, then focused on community-based rehabilitation and family rehabilitation, and gradually focused on the quality of life, activities of daily living, satisfaction, mental health, negative emotion and healthcare consortium in recent years. ConclusionThe researches about multi-level rehabilitation service system are developing in China, focusing on community-based rehabilitation, stroke, family rehabilitation, rehabilitation nursing and quality of life. The cooperation among scholar groups need to be strengthened. Quality of life, activities of daily living, satisfaction, mental health, negative emotion and healthcare consortium may be the hotspots in the future.
