Abstract

This study provides a bibliometric analysis of illness narratives research in Chinese academic publications from 1996 to 2023. Using CiteSpace as an analytical tool, a total of 619 relevant publications were identified and examined to explore research trends, institutional collaboration, keyword evolution, and thematic development. The findings reveal that: (1) Southern Medical University is a leading research institution in this research area. (2) Illness narratives research primarily forms an interdisciplinary study between literature and medicine through narrative medicine. (3) The most frequently discussed topics in the literature area include metaphor studies, ethics considerations, gender discussion, healthcare communication, while medical humanities and narrative nursing are mostly discussed in the medical field. (4) Illness narratives research in China has undergone three stages of development and has now entered a mature phase, focusing on medical narratives. (5) In the future, related research will delve deeper into interdisciplinary studies between literature and medicine. Additionally, it will seek collaborative research opportunities with other humanities disciplines to explore new pathways.
