Objective:In the context of health China, the authors, institutions, research methods and distribution of research hotspots of the paper with high influence on doctor-patient relationship in China were understood to provide basis and reference for further relevant research.Methods:The paper of doctor-patient relationship cited more than 20 times and downloaded more than 100 times in CNKI database was used as the data source, and citespace software was used for bibliometric analysis.Results: The number of papers with high influence on doctor-patient relationship is increasing year by year, but there are more theoretical studies and less empirical studies, and the research perspective is relatively narrow.Conclusion:The academic value and application value of doctor-patient relationship research need to be improved, and the construction of academic ecosphere is relatively insufficient, which requires multidisciplinary cooperation among management departments at all levels, researchers and academic journals.
