Abstract:

Objective: To analyze the Health Belief Model (HBM) and vaccination research (HVR) landscape, identify research gaps, and provide future recommendations. Methodology: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Scopus database to examine publications related to HBR from 1978 to 2022. Data on publication trends, top authors, affiliations, journals, countries, collaboration networks, emerging topics, and research themes were analyzed. Results: There was a growing interest in HVR with a peak in 2022. Collaboration networks highlighted the involvement of countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and China. This study identified five novel research clusters, focusing on HBM application, adherence, knowledge and behavior, barriers to screening, and health education. Trending topics included Covid-19, pregnancy, social media, and vaccine hesitancy. Conclusion: This study's findings, which include the identification of several research gaps and the provision of future recommendations for HVR, exploration of underrepresented regions, and addressing vaccine hesitancy through targeted interventions, are significant.
