Thirty-Five Years of Wellbeing & Healthcare Research.

Abstract

The gradual surge in the importance of ‘wellbeing’ and ‘healthcare services’, motivated us to map the literature of the keywords mentioned. The aim of the study was to conduct the bibliometric analysis of ‘wellbeing and healthcare’ research by using the Scopus database. Data was extracted from 1985 to 2020 and analysed by using VOSviewer software and MS Excel. Co-authorship and Co-occurrence analysis were executed to investigate the links and collaborations among the authors, countries, and author keywords globally. Results revealed that Bamvita J. -M. and Fleury M. -J. both were having greater total link strength (TLS), United Kingdom was leading other countries in collaborations and affiliations with greater TLS, and mental health, depression, quality of life, and burnout were the keywords found with higher co-occurrence with ‘wellbeing and healthcare’. Findings also showed the publication output throughout the years, prolific authors and journals, prominent countries, and institutions in the literature of ‘wellbeing and healthcare’. Conclusively, future research directions were recommended.
