The Development of Violence Research in Psychiatric Nursing: A Bibliometric Perspective.
Article in Journal of psychiatric and mental health nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThere is a growing emphasis on violence-related research in psychiatric nursing, with an annual increase rate of 2.12% in publications and the highest number of publications occurring in 2024. This trend underscores the escalating importance of addressing violence in mental health settings.
aimThis study aims to demonstrate the quantitative and qualitative features of violence publications in the field of psychiatric nursing from a bibliometric perspective. Web of Science was used during the research.
methodsThis study employed bibliometric analysis, a methodological approach for delineating the scope of information and assessing productivity within a specific domain. The data were searched with the keyword combination 'violence and psychiatric nursing', including studies published until December 2024, the study date, without a time limit.
resultsIn this study, 464 violence research/reviews in the field of nursing were identified between 2001 and 2025, and the research was completed with 438 violence studies in line with the exclusion criteria. 1493 authors wrote 390 research and 48 review/systematic review articles, with an average of 22.14 citations for each publication. Most were published in 2024. DISCUSSION: There is an apparent increase in the involvement of psychiatric nurses in studies pertaining to violence. It is proposed that nursing professionals should undertake further research to investigate violence processes and develop ethically sound approaches to patients and healthy individuals, taking into account biopsychosocial factors. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: These findings collectively suggest that while progress is being made in understanding and addressing violence in psychiatric nursing, there remains a critical need for ongoing research, policy development and practical interventions to ensure the safety and well-being of both nurses and patients in mental health settings.
