description Arts in healthcare is a broad worldwide movement that includes how the arts influence patient care, hospital surrounds. Art in health research is crucial to prove its effectiveness and guide its practical application in healthcare, addressing current gaps in knowledge and ensuring optimal integration into patient care. The objective of this article is to present a literature review and bibliometric analysis of the mapping art in health research from 2018 to 2023. Text queries on Scopus (1, 670 documents) and PubMed (550 documents) using the term (“art therapy” OR “art in medicine” OR “arts-based interventions” OR “creative arts therapies” OR “Art in Health”) have done on 15 October 2023 obtaining 2220 documents for in-depth analysis. Rstudio 4.2.1 and biblioshiny for bibliometrix were used to analyze research trends. The most popular journal in Scopus is the journal Arts in Psychotherapy while the journal Frontiers in Psychology in PubMed. In Scopus, the most frequently used author keywords and add keywords are “art therapy” while in PubMed it shows “humans” REGEV D., (Scopus) and TESTONI I., (PubMed) are the most popular authors. The United States of America produces the most scientific articles in Scopus and PubMed. The most notable affiliations from Scopus and PubMed is University of Haifa. In conclusion, PubMed and Scopus databases, it can be observed that a significant proportion of European researchers exhibit a broader range of research interests in the field of art in health.
