Background: Several studies have been conducted to investigate the trends of erectile dysfunction (ED) among individuals with diabetes. Nonetheless, a comprehensive analysis of the literature concerning ED among individuals with diabetes is required, especially in the nursing field, which yet remains elusive. Purpose: This study uses bibliometric and visualized analysis to analyze the global scientific trends and research keywords of previous studies on ED in diabetes published from 2012 to 2022. Methods: The literature, specifically related to ED in diabetes, was obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection database. VOS viewer, Cite Space, and Excel 2019 were used to examine the journal title, research frontiers, authors, institutions, countries, and citation reports. Results: A total of 2,367 articles on ED and diabetes between 2012 and 2022 were identified as of September 30, 2022. The global trend was comparatively declining in the last two years (2021 and 2022). International Journal of Impotence Research (568 papers) owned the highest number of publications. A.L. Burnett (41 papers) was the top most productive author, and T. F. Lue had the largest number of citations (842 citations) during the past decades. USA was the leading contributor in this field, with 668 articles. Active cooperation between countries and between institutions was observed. The main keywords and exciting topics related to ED were frontiers of physical activity included in therapy, quality of life, and oxidative stress. Conclusion: Global trend of research on ED in people with diabetes increased up to 2020 and decreased in 2021 and 2022. Nurses and healthcare should explore the links between oxidative stress, physical activity, and quality of life among diabetes with ED. Copyright © 2025 by the Authors.
