Ltd.10.26689/jcnr.v9i3.10081ArticleVisualization Analysis of Research Hotspots on Timing in Right Theory in the Field of Nursinghttps://artdesignp.com/journal/JCNR/9/3/10.26689/jcnr.v9i3.10081FangBo,TangXuehong2025932025-04-03Objective: Based on the CNKI database, this study analyzes the current research status and hotspots of the Timing it Right (TIR) Theory in China, providing insights and references for its further development in the field of nursing. Methods: Using bibliometric methods and Citespace software, this study conducts a statistical and visual analysis of publications on TIR Theory from CNKI, focusing on annual publication volumes, author collaboration networks, high-frequency keywords, and emergent terms. Results: The study statistically analyzed the time distribution and research hotspots of 117 relevant papers. The annual publication volume shows a gradual upward trend, though the overall volume remains low. High-frequency keywords such as “family nursing,” “quality of life,” “acute myocardial infarction,” and “stroke” form the core research themes. Conclusion: Research on TIR Theory in China’s nursing field is still in the exploratory stage, and its attention and emphasis need to be enhanced. As it aligns with modern medical models, its application scope in nursing is expanding, promoting the high-quality, scientific, and diversified development of nursing services in China.
