Abstract

Objective To analyze the researches on blood donation service during 2001 to 2020, explore the development of blood donation service in China and discover the hot spots and weaknesses in current research, aimed to provide reference for future research. Methods The research team, institutions and hotspots of related literature from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were analyzed using CiteSpace. Results After analyzing the selected 969 relevant literature, it is concluded that there is few communication between the core author teams. The inter-agency research network is not mature enough, and the cooperation and communication between institutions need to be further strengthened. The high-frequency keywords were volunteer donors, satisfaction, blood donation response and humanized service. Quality control in the blood donation service process, maintenance and recruitment of regular blood donors, and the establishment and improvement of voluntary blood donation teams were research hot spots. Conclusion China has made fruitful achievements in the research of blood donation service after 20 years of development. The key point of future research is to strengthen the cooperation between different research teams, integrate the first-line practice of blood collection and supply, as well as explore the individualized and localized theory of blood donation service.
