Abstract: Objective: To perform a visualized analysis of research hotspots and evolutionary trends in domestic in vitro fertilization
and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) nursing using CiteSpace, and to provide references for advancing the development of IVF-ET nursing
practice. Methods: Literatures related to IVF-ET nursing in China were retrieved from China National Knowledge Infrastructure and
Web of Science, and screened based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. CiteSpace 6.4 R1 was applied to analyze keyword cooccurrence,
institutional collaboration, and burst terms in the included literatures. Results: A total of 914 literatures were included,
comprising 757 Chinese literatures and 157 English literatures. The number of publications on IVF-ET nursing research showed an
overall annual upward trend. Research hotspots in both Chinese and English literatures mainly focus on psychological intervention,
health education, self-management, and the application of assisted reproductive technologies. Additionally, institutional collaboration
analysis revealed that relevant studies are mostly conducted through collaborations between large general hospitals and research
institutions, but inter-regional collaboration requires further enhancement. Conclusion: Research hotspots in China's IVF-ET nursing
field focus on psychological intervention, health education, and improvement of patients' self-management abilities. Meanwhile, the
application of new technologies such as artificial intelligence offers a new direction for nursing practice. However, the interinstitutional
collaboration network remains relatively loose. Future efforts should strengthen cross-regional and interdisciplinary
collaborative research to advance innovation and development in IVF-ET nursing, thereby providing more personalized and highquality
nursing services to patients.
