Description
Summary:This study sought to conduct a knowledge mapping of articles to shed light on the application of the Quran and Hadiths in health care. The study is applied in terms of purpose and scientometrics in terms of type, which has been carried out using retrospective bibliometric analysis methods and visualization through knowledge mapping. In order to do so, the PubMed database with related keywords was thoroughly searched. Then, 302 relevant articles were reviewed in terms of the author, the year of publication, the journal, and the subject. In addition, VOSviewer software was employed to analyze and visualize keywords and maps of the articles. The findings showed that 302 articles were published between 1972 and 2021 in 190 journals, among which the Journal of Religion and Health was ranked first with 43 articles. Word co-occurrence map of scientific products of the Quran and Hadith in health care were categorized into six clusters, namely: "complementary and alternative medicine," "ethics," "the effectiveness of spirituality on the treatment and control of mental illness," "women’s rights and status," "family planning, infertility treatment and abortion," and "the views of the Quran and Hadiths on sexual issues." Adopting a holistic approach toward the application of various aspects of the Quran and Hadiths on health care, the present study can be considered as a pioneering research whose results can account for determining relevant applied research projects.
