Methods The databases of Web of Science and CNKI were retrieved from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2021. Excel and CiteSpace software were used to measure and visually analyze the quantity, author, country, institution and key words of 8505 literatures included. Results ① The number of literature in domestic and foreign has increased in recent five years. ② The top five countries in the number of foreign publications were the United States, England, China, Australia and Canada, Canada have the highest centrality(0.18). ③ Research institutions in domestic and foreign are mainly universities. ④ Bryant RA、Ressler KJ、Greenberg N rank the top three in terms of the number of literature issued abroad, while Wu XC、Li YF 、Yan XK and Zhang GQ rank the top three in terms of the number of literature domestically. Compared with foreign authors, the number of papers issued by Chinese scholars is relatively small. ⑤ Post-traumatic stress disorder and depression are of more concern in domestic and foreign. Conclusions In recent five years, PTSD has been a research hotspot in domestic and foreign. It not only has the common concern of PTSD and depression, but also has its own characteristics. If research institutions and researchers can strengthen exchanges and cooperation, it will be more conducive to promoting progress in the field of disciplines. |
