ObjectiveTo analyze the related foreign literature about compassion fatigue (CF) and to provide the basis for further improving the level of research in this field.MethodsBased on the Web of Science core database and its own analysis function, HistCite analysis software was used to study the diploma research about CF.ResultsA total of 652 paper were retrieved, the output of literature showed an increasing trend year by year. The United States ranked first, and China ranked eleventh. The “Oncology Nursing Forum” had the largest number of articles (4.0%). The main research direction was in nursing (29.6%), and the main research output was from articles (73.2%). The key words highly cited were “compassion” and “fatigue”. Figley was the author of the high-yield field, and mainly research institutions were universities. The highly cited article was entitled “Compassion fatigue: Psychotherapists’ chronic lack of self-care”.ConclusionsIn recent years, the related heat of CF has been high fever. Our research in this field is still in the primary stage, and it needs to be further excavated and promoted.
