Methods The relevant literature on male nursing students'professional identity research in our country in domestic and foreign databases including Wanfang Data, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP Database, Web of Science and PubMed from the establishment of database to December 31, 2019 were retrieved using bibliometric methods, respectively, and the annual distribution, journal source, author and institution distribution, and research type statistically were analyzed. Results A total of 66 articles were included, which were published in 43 journals. Among them, "Health Vocational Education" had the largest number of articles (9.52% (6/63). Since the publication of the first article in 2007, the research on male nursing students'professional identity had gradually increased in the past 13 years. The average annual publication volume was 5.08 ± 3.31, and the ratio of detected documents rose from 3.0%(2/66) in 2007 to 19.7%(13/66) in 2019; the province with the largest number of publications was Guangdong 12.12%(8/66); most of the research types were cross- sectional studies. There were few cohort studies or intervention studies. Conclusions With the development of the nursing profession, the cultivation of professional identity of nursing students has more important significance for the stable development of the industry. Domestic scholars have gradually increased the professional identity research of male nursing students, but overall, the research strength was scattered and the research content was single. The research area is relatively narrow. It is recommended to increase relevant research to provide scientific basis for the training of male nursing talents in my country. © 2022 Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing. All rights reserved.
