追踪自闭症儿童睡眠相关行为结果研究的演变：科学计量学综述
Tracing the Evolution of Sleep-Related Behavioural Outcomes Research in Autistic Children: A Scientometric Review.
摘要(中文译文)
目的：睡眠障碍在孤独症儿童中高度普遍，并与行为结局之间存在复杂的双向关系。为全面、系统地了解该领域知识的发展脉络，我们对Scopus数据库中1745篇文献（1969—2025年）和Web of Science核心合集中2530篇文献（1968—2025年）进行了科学计量学分析。方法：去重后，共纳入2878篇文献进行分析。采用CiteSpace进行文献共被引分析（DCA），识别出最具影响力的文献（n=149）和主要研究聚类（n=9）。结果：将科学计量学分析的定量结果与定性讨论相结合，我们观察到研究主题已逐渐从神经学视角广泛讨论一般睡眠问题，转向考察特定睡眠问题对特定行为结局的具体影响，并探索这一关系中一些潜在的底层机制和可能的干预措施。同时，对父母的研究以及心理学/教育学与医学/健康科学之间的跨学科整合日益受到关注。然而，对非西方国家和日间小睡作用的研究仍然有限。结论：我们呼吁未来研究采用跨文化视角，深化对睡眠相关行为结局背后认知机制的理解，并通过在个体、家庭和社会层面整合心理学、行为学和医学方法，改善孤独症儿童的睡眠和行为结局。
Abstract
PURPOSE: Sleep disturbances are highly prevalent among autistic children and exhibit a complex bidirectional relationship with behavioural outcomes. To provide a comprehensive and systematic understanding of the evolution of knowledge in this field, we performed a scientometric analysis of 1745 publications (1969–2025) from Scopus and 2530 publications (1968–2025) from Web of Science Core Collection. METHODS: After deduplication, 2878 publications were included in the analysis. CiteSpace was employed to perform a document co-citation analysis (DCA), identifying the most influential publications (n = 149) and major research clusters (n = 9). RESULTS: Combining the quantitative results of scientometric analysis with a qualitative discussion, we observed that research topics have gradually shifted from broadly discussing general sleep issues from a neurological perspective to examining the specific effects of certain sleep problems on certain behavioural outcomes and identifying some potential underlying mechanisms and possible interventions in this relationship. Also, increasing attention has been given to research on parents and to interdisciplinary integration between psychology/education and medicine/health sciences. However, there still exists a limited focus on non-Western countries and the role of daytime napping. CONCLUSION: We call for future research to adopt a cross-cultural perspective, deepen the understanding of the cognitive mechanism underlying sleep-related behavioural outcomes, and improve sleep and behavioural outcomes of autistic children through the integration of psychological, behavioural and medical approaches across individual, family, and social levels.
