Abstract

As the global population ages, improving health statuses and quality of life has become crucial. Healing spaces enhance older adults’ (OA) physical and mental health and well-being. However, the current research status and development trends must be systematically reviewed to guide future research directions. This study systematically examines the role of healing spaces in improving the health and well-being of OA through a bibliometric analysis. Results reveal three developmental stages: slow start, steady development, and in-depth refinement. Highly cited articles emphasize physical and environmental factors. The main research foundations encompass physical, chemical, biological, and ecological aspects of healing spaces and OA mental health. The research frontier is shifting towards a more comprehensive understanding of OA needs. Keyword analysis indicates a transition from a single physical environment focus to a holistic approach considering psychological, social, and spiritual needs across various disciplines. The field is progressing toward interdisciplinary integration, personalized demand, and systematic development. Future research should prioritize OA spiritual needs, develop scientific evaluation systems for spiritual healing, optimize personalized treatment environments using innovative technologies, and address diverse health and well-being needs. Strengthening international cooperation and integrating global research efforts are also essential for advancing the field.
