A Systematic Literature Review and Bibliometric Analysis of Developing Music as A Foundation for Health Communication

This research will serve as a major source of information for scientists who specialize in the study of health communication, particularly that related to music’s role. This study aims to assess how the field of research on the role of music in health communication has developed. The Scopus database was searched using the keywords “music” and “health communication” to find 904 documents containing this study’s data. After that, the author offers search parameters by only including publications in English-language journals between 2014 and 2022. As a result of these limitations, 300 document results were found that matched the required criteria. The VOSviewer and Bibliometric software were used to process the data. This research found that music has a significant role in health communication, particularly when it comes to issues involving mental health, such as depression, dementia, and anxiety in both adults and children. In the future, this research can be developed regarding how health communication can be developed through media intermediaries other than music.


INTRODUCTION
The process of disseminating information about health-related topics to people or groups is known as health communication (Moorhead et al., 2013).The goal is to increase people's understanding of health issues, alter their attitudes and beliefs about health, and eventually encourage healthy behaviors and lifestyles.Public health campaigns, patient-provider communication, health education initiatives, and media messaging about health are just a few of the many activities that go under the umbrella term "health communication."(Moorhead et al., 2013) Promoting health and preventing illness require effective health communication.In order to engage audiences and encourage health literacy-the capacity of people to access, comprehend, and utilize health information-it entails the use of communication tactics and techniques.Health literacy is defined as the capacity of people to acquire, use, and understand health information.Understanding the social, cultural, and psychological influences on health behavior and personalizing communication are further components of health communication (Zhao, 2020).
The field of health communication studies has developed rapidly in recent years, as health professionals and researchers recognize the importance of effective communication in promoting health and preventing disease.Here are some key developments in the field of health communication studies (Polyák & Nagy, 2021): (1) Emergence of Health Communication as a Field of Study: Health communication emerged as a distinct field of study in the late 1970s and early 1980s, as scholars began to recognize the importance of communication in health promotion and disease prevention; (2) Growth of Health Communication Research: Since the 1980s, the field of health communication has grown rapidly, with an increasing number of scholars conducting research on topics such as patientprovider communication, health literacy, and health campaigns; (3) Application of Communication Theories and Methods: Health communication researchers draw on theories and methods from communication studies, psychology, sociology, and other related fields to understand the factors that influence health behavior and to develop effective communication strategies; (4) Use of Technology in Health Communication: Technology has played an increasingly important role in health communication, with the rise of social media, mobile health apps, and other digital tools that can be used to promote health messages and behaviors; (5) Emphasis on Cultural Competence: Health communication researchers have increasingly recognized the importance of cultural competence in developing effective communication strategies, and have sought to develop culturally appropriate messages and interventions; (6) Integration with Public Health: Health communication has become increasingly integrated with public health, with many public health programs incorporating communication strategies and techniques into their health promotion efforts.
Overall, the field of health communication studies continues to evolve and grow, as researchers seek to understand the complex factors that influence health behavior and develop effective strategies for promoting health and preventing disease.Today, a variety of studies on communication and health are being undertaken, with researchers looking into a number of topics (Porter et al., 2017), such as: (1) Communication between patients and healthcare providers is being studied by researchers to see how it may affect patient happiness and health.Researchers are also looking at strategies to improve communication; (2) Health Campaigns: In order to improve communication tactics for promoting healthy behavior, researchers are examining the efficacy of health campaigns, including public service announcements and community-based initiatives; (3) Health Literacy: In order to increase health literacy among a variety of communities, researchers are examining the variables that affect health literacy, such as the importance of culture and language; (4) Digital Health: Digital health interventions, such as social media and mobile health apps, have the potential to enhance health communication and encourage healthy behaviors.This is because digital technology is being used in healthcare more and more; (5) Risk Communication: In order to ensure that the general public receives accurate and comprehensible information, researchers are looking at the best ways to communicate risks related to health issues, such as infectious diseases, environmental dangers, and chronic disorders; (6) Interdisciplinary Approaches: Researchers are increasingly adopting an interdisciplinary approach to health communication research, incorporating concepts and techniques from public health, psychology, sociology, communication studies, and other relevant disciplines to create more thorough and efficient communication strategies.
Overall, as researchers work to comprehend the complicated elements, the area of health communication research is still evolving.Meanwhile The power of music to amuse, inspire, and unite people has long been acknowledged.The potential of music as a tool for health communication, particularly in promoting healthy habits and enhancing health outcomes, has drawn more attention in recent years.Here are some examples of how music can be utilized to communicate health information (Jacobsen, Gattino, Holck, & Bøtker, 2022): (1) Health Education: Music can be used to teach people about important health topics like the value of exercise, a balanced diet, and disease prevention.Information can be presented through music in an interesting and memorable fashion, increasing the likelihood that the listener will remember it; (2) Health Promotion: Music can be used to promote healthy behaviors, such as physical activity or healthy eating, by incorporating health messages into song lyrics.For example, a song about the benefits of exercise may inspire listeners to become more physically active; (3) Behavior Change: Music can be used to encourage behavior change, such as quitting smoking or reducing alcohol consumption.By incorporating health messages into song lyrics, music can provide a powerful and emotional message that resonates with the listener; (4) Coping and Healing: Music can be used to help people cope with health challenges, such as chronic illness or pain.Music has been shown to have a calming effect on the mind and body, reducing stress and promoting relaxation, which can be beneficial for managing health conditions; (5) Community Building: Music can be used to bring people together and create a sense of community around health issues.Music events, such as concerts or music festivals, can be used to raise awareness about health issues and promote healthy behaviors; (6) Overall, music has great potential as a tool for health communication, particularly in engaging and inspiring people to make positive changes to their health behaviors and promoting healthy lifestyles.
From the results of this elaboration, this study proposed five research questions (RQ): RQ1: can music be used for health communication purposes?RQ2: Which country and institution contribute the most to the publication of health communication?RQ3: Which journal publishes music and health communication?RQ4: How is the trend of publication themes on music and health communication?RQ5: Who contributes to the publication of music and health communication?
Systematic literature review and BA have specific characteristics in the metadata analysis used; therefore, this study is interesting because the data set used can provide predictions of future publication trends about music related to health communication.SLR with the analysis content, while BA with performance analysis, science mapping, and network analysis (Donthu, Kumar, Mukherjee, Pandey, & Lim, 2021).The RQ that appeared is based on developing SLR and BA.RQ 1 aims to analyze curriculum development that can increase health communication.RQ 1 was raised because it refers to the analysis content of the SLR characteristics.RQ 2 and 3 aim to map countries, institutions, and journals that contribute to music and health communication.RQs 2 and 3 refer to analyst performance as a hallmark of BA.RQ 4 aims to map thematic trends of the publication in music and health communication by referring to the function of BA as science mapping.RQ 5 aims to look at contributing to the publication of the music and health communication that refers to the function of BA as network analysis.

METHODS
In order to explain self-esteem-based curriculum development and expose its bibliometric profile, this study used an SLR and bibliometric analysis.It is referred to as systematic literature network analysis (SLNA) in some publications.By combining a systematic literature review (Donthu et al., 2021) and a bibliographic analysis (BA) (Zupic and Ater, 2015), some researchers have employed the SLNA numerous times to identify research trends.In order to categorize information based on several criteria in a particular topic area, bibliometric analysis examines bibliographic material objectively and statistically (Merigo , Gil-Lafuente, & Yager, 2015;Merigo , Mas-Tur, Roig-Tierno, 2015;Albort-Morant & Ribeiro-Soriano, 2016).It can be used to examine, categorize, and analyze a vast amount of historical data, track the evolution of a particular topic's body of knowledge, and even perhaps predict future developments (Daim et al, 2006).This method contributes to academics and researchers to understand the range of study topics, the most recent developments, the dominant themes, and the research hotspots in a certain field-both geographically and content (Yan & Zhiping, 2023).Figure 1 illustrates the search flow in identification, source filtering, and process identification for the SLR guideline's application of the PRISMA model guideline (Donthu et al., 2021).The goal of the bibliographic analysis was to spot trends, patterns, and metadata visualization in research.The Scopus database, which was retrieved on 16 April 2023, provided the information for this study.The papers from the past nine years (2014-2022) that looked at music based on health communication were the source of the data.The Scopus data includes a large number of reputable worldwide scientific journals, ensuring that the high caliber of the articles was upheld through the strict peer-review procedure.As a result, the data used were reliable.The most comprehensive academic database, Scopus, is Elsevier's abstract and citation database that was released in 2004.In some nations, it is used as a publishing reference.Only journals with a Scopus index were used in this investigation.The terms "health communication" and "music" were used to find papers that matched the goals of this study.("Health communication" or "curriculum" or "curricula") and ("music") are the keywords utilized.The search terms used in this investigation were therefore constrained.Researchers utilize inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure that not just any term can be used as an analysis in the study (Donthu et al., 2021) in order to maintain the quality of the data investigated in this paper.In order to avoid limiting the initial results, these keywords are entered into search engines (scopus.com),with topic categories selected.Additionally, a variety of inclusion and exclusion criteria are used to enhance the scientific literature (Table 1).Due to their keyword correlation, the terms "music" and "health communication" are used together.In order for the resultant communication science to be used as medical resources and references to reach treatment objectives, it is necessary to plan and prepare the health service by communication science developers and activities.This process is known as "health communication."

This investigation identified the journals and publications included in the Scopus index that were related to this research.This study did not evaluate letters, editorials, conference papers, or brief communications because it only used peer-reviewed articles.The researcher chose the top 10 papers after independently identifying 300 publications and taking Scopus database scores into account.After that, they were used as SLR analysis materials.Three hundred articles were used to assess the bibliography in the interim.However, the researcher independently and thoroughly examined the top 10 publications.Consequently, the publications served as trustworthy research materials.After the researchers reached an agreement regarding divergent viewpoints, the results were used.
The top 10 articles in this study on health communication were chosen based on their coverage of relevant themes, journals, institutions, key ideas, analyses, methodologies, and future research.In order to examine studies in a variety of sectors, including education, the bibliometric analysis applied the bibliometric theory (Budd, 1988) (Adams, 2009) (Diem & Wolter, 2013) (Crockett, Nylander, Wooten & Menser, 2022).The VOSviewer program, version 1.6.16,was used in this study to examine the bibliography.A free computer tool called VOSviewer can be used to create and display bibliometric maps.In contrast to the majority of bibliometric map software, VOSviewer gives special consideration to a bibliometric map and a graphical depiction.Large, simple-to-understand bibliometric maps can benefit greatly from the characteristics of the VOSviewer (van Eck and Waltman, 2010).VOSviewer aids in the visualization of publication metadata, including coauthorship, bibliographical appropriateness, and co-citation.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION
According to certain research, music can improve patient outcomes and the flow of information between patients and healthcare professionals.For instance, studies have revealed that music therapy can help patients feel better mentally, relieve tension and anxiety, and even lessen pain.According to other studies, adding music to healthcare settings can increase patient happiness and make the spaces more hospitable and relaxing.
It is crucial to remember that the precise mechanisms by which music influences health communication are still under investigation and are not fully known.More research is required to support the theories put out by some researchers that self-evaluation and job situations may mediate the benefits of music on health communication.Overall, despite the promise of using music in healthcare settings, it is crucial for medical professionals to carefully weigh the advantages and drawbacks of doing so.Further study is required to completely comprehend how music affects health communication and to determine the best applications of music in healthcare settings.
The sub-discussion with the key theme, journal name, country, affiliation, academic thematic trends, method, and future study presented the conclusions of the analysis of journals on the relationships of health communication-based music.The study objective, clarifying key elements of this research's replies with indicators, helped to choose the research theme.Figure 2   The number of studies published in reputable journals regarding music and health communication has indeed experienced an increasing trend every year.In Table 2,

Can Music Improve Treatment in Health Communication?
According to numerous studies conducted by academics from around the world, music can enhance therapy and health communication in various ways.Research shows that music in healthcare procedures can help patients achieve better physical and psychological results.Music therapy, which involves music by a qualified therapist to attain particular goals relating to physical, emotional, cognitive, and social functioning, is one way that music can be utilized in healthcare.For instance, music therapy has been used to ease dementia symptoms, enhance motor abilities in stroke patients, and lessen anxiety and suffering in cancer patients.
Additionally, music can be employed in a wider range of healthcare settings to enhance patient outcomes.For instance, research has demonstrated that listening to music helps lower tension and enhance mood in patients with chronic pain, as well as anxiety and discomfort in surgery patients.
Music can potentially benefit patients, but it may also be a helpful tool for healthcare professionals to inform people about their health.According to research, adding music to health communications can help patients feel more satisfied with their medical care experiences and help them pay more attention and remember information.Overall, music has the potential to be an effective instrument in the healthcare industry, serving as a therapeutic intervention as well as a way to enhance patient outcomes and communication.
Long-term studies have been conducted on the connection between music and health communication.This area of research has provided insightful information about how music might improve one's physical, emotional, and mental health.The importance of ongoing study in this field can be attributed to a number of factors.First off, listening to music can elicit strong emotional reactions in listeners, and these reactions can have a big influence on how people feel about themselves.For instance, studies have demonstrated that listening to music can help lower blood pressure, ease pain, and reduce tension and anxiety.
Second, new opportunities are opening up for the use of music in health communication as technology develops.For instance, the growth of streaming services and social media platforms has opened up new avenues for reaching a large audience with music-based health interventions.Third, it is becoming increasingly obvious that music has a role in enhancing general health and well-being as our understanding of the intricate interplay between mind and body continues to advance.Table 3 shows the ten best articles on health communication and music in 2014-2022 based on the Scopus database.Table 3 shows how we can learn more about how music can be used as a therapeutic tool by studying the mechanisms underlying these benefits.In conclusion, it is evident that ongoing study into music and health communication is necessary.We can create more efficient interventions and raise people's overall quality of life by investigating the potential of music to enhance health outcomes in a variety of populations.

The author concludes from Table 3 and Figure 4 that music has been utilized therapeutically for millennia and that there is growing interest in using music to advance health communication.Music has the ability to engage listeners and make points about health and wellness remember.It may also be used to encourage good habits like exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management.
The study of the use of music in health initiatives is one field of research that has grown in this area.For instance, music has been utilized in anti-smoking programs to spread information about the risks of smoking and the advantages of quitting, according to a study.In initiatives to encourage healthy eating, where music is utilized to encourage the intake of fruits and vegetables, studies have also looked at the usage of music.
The use of music in patient care has been the subject of more research.To relieve pain, lessen anxiety and depression, and enhance patients' general quality of life, music therapy has been employed in a variety of contexts.Music's therapeutic effects on people with illnesses like cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and chronic pain have been researched.Overall, research into the relationship between music and health communication is expanding and shows great promise for advancing health and wellness.We can create new methods for utilizing music to enhance patient outcomes and public health as we continue to learn more about its ability to promote health.

The Analysis of the Most Contributive Countries and Institutions with the Highest Number of Publications on Music and Health Communication
The thematic trend developing in the top 10 countries contributing to the music and health communication articles was analyzed and presented in detail and separately in Table 4, Figure 5 (countries), and Figure 6 (institutions).Table 4 shows that many countries are interested in the trends in health communication publications.The top 10 countries include the United States (n = 94 with a total citation of 1355), the United Kingdom (n = 46 with a total citation of 723), Italy (n = 17 with a total citation of 276), Australia (n = 26 with a total citation of 262), Canada (n = 11 with a total citation of 231), China (n = 27 with a total citation of 156), New Zealand (n = 12 with a total citation of 130), Turkey (n = 5 with a total citation of 128), Germany (n = 8 with a total citation of 102), and Poland (n = 4 with a total citation of 94).Recently, researchers from the United States dominated the article citations with 1355 citations and 41 networks.This finding shows that the researchers from the US have made a significant contribution to music and health communication.These data conclude that the music and health communication research in the United States provides large assistance to the academics of the country and foreign countries.Why did we report this condition?The researcher found an article on the contribution of psychological theories and health communication research.Although the article discusses foreign language teaching, its new direction messages regarding psychology's contribution and interconnection are fascinating.We will campaign such messages to address various health communication problems.
Moreover, a well-designed interconnection of multi-science will produce new directions that can solve educational problems.In this article, new directions recommend the research roadmap that motivates researchers to implement music and health communication.The psychological theory and research in health communication contribute a more comprehensive insight.These findings suggest that today is a very reasonable time for researchers in music and health communication to cooperate to advance knowledge.These periodicals are all still included in Scopus's index today.Currently, the number of articles in the ACTA Paediatrica, International Journal of Pediatrics, and BMC Public Health are comparable (n = 2).In contrast, today's articles in Medical Humanities, Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, and Supportive Care in Cancer are comparable (n = 3).International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health currently holds the top spot (TC n = 156) and has a high-caliber journal (SJR: 0.814 and JIF: 1.440) if the number of citations becomes the norm.FRONTIERS in Psychology (TC n = 92) is ranked second and has a high-caliber journal (SJR: 0.873 in 2021 and JIF: 1.605).Table 5 further illustrates that ten journals have strong SJR and JIF reputations, that none of them have been removed from Scopus, and that a number of them are also included in the Web of Science-Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI).Future studies should take into account the publication venue for their article on music and health communication.However, the substantial effects of academic society and the diffusion of research are applicable globally.

Analysis of Thematic Trends of Publications on the Relationship Between Music and Health Communication
Since evaluating subject trends of publications on music and health communication enables academics to uncover research opportunities and uniqueness to connect two different fields, the publication themes are an important topic of discussion in this study.The capacity to investigate keyword networks will enable researchers to acquire appropriate study ideas and objects, provide blatant uniqueness, and advance science.The keywords that emerged from this investigation are summarized in Figure 7.The study is based on author keywords because it takes into account how the writers honed their expertise by using keywords associated with the subject under investigation.The study found that the author's keywords are distributed throughout 229 networks and 75 clusters.Eight keywords make up Cluster 1's red hue, and the most often occurring ones are music therapy, psychotherapy, depression, anxiety, quality of life, dementia, cognition, and length of treatment.The five terms that makeup Cluster 2 in the green hue are human, psychology, human experiment, medical information, and awareness.There are three keywords in Cluster 3 with the color blue: child-parent relation, important clinical study, and human relation emerging most frequently.The bare minimum (n = 2) of frequently occurring terms were used in this research.It means that at least two instances of the targeted keywords are present in the article.The keyword "music" appears 87 times, whereas "health communication" appears 80 times.The most common keywords in this data, according to Figure 7, are "human," "female," "male," "music therapy," and "interpersonal communication."With the words "memory," "art therapy," "wellness," and "mini-mental state examination" groupings in the red cluster, the word "intervention" is frequently employed.The term "health communication" is also the most used, followed by the terms "controlled study," "depression," "caregiver," "emotion," and "autism" in the gray cluster.The words social interaction, anxiety, and attitude of health commonly coincide alongside the word curricular development in the gray cluster.This analysis concludes that not many networks are involved in integrating music and health communication, and these networks may have evolved since this study is unique in the field of health communication science.This analysis concludes that in order to develop a new paradigm in education, particularly to maximize the role of music with health communication studies, the networks of writers who published articles on music and health communication must be expanded.Through the development of health services and treatment through the music, music and health communication will eventually have an impact on the instructional practices at physical and mental health institutions to generate better practices.Research on music and health communication has a stronger emphasis on psychology, therapy, and health science/medicine.These health communication researchers ought to integrate psychology to their scientific expertise in this situation.As a result, the development of healthcare services and therapies can proceed smoothly.

CONCLUSION
The systematic literature network analysis on music and health communication study is presented in this paper.This article gives a research roadmap using the Scopus database.Only a few articles on the intersection of music and health communication research have been published despite several studies on systematic literature reviews and bibliometric analysis having been done.The systematic reviews of the top ten papers reveal varied research investigations on music and health communication linked to different keywords, methodologies, and emphases.In order to solve health issues and provide therapy for patients in physical and mental health institutions, scientific disciplines, health communication, and music must be integrated and connected.Based on keywords, co-occurrence networks offer insightful information about the major study themes in music and health communication.The author-based bibliographic coupling networks, which include two clusters and visualize knowledge networks in music and health communication, illuminate the research networks and groupings created by different authors.Thanks to this study, we can understand patterns and historical changes in author-based knowledge networks.This paper used structured network analysis and bibliometric analysis to try and understand how the research on music and health communication has developed.In the future, this research can be developed regarding how health communication can be developed through media intermediaries other than music.
