Abstract
This study aimed to understand research trends regarding housewives' health information-seeking behavior. As access to digital information increases, it is important to investigate how housewives seek and use health information to improve the well-being of their families. The method used was bibliometric analysis by collecting data from the Scopus database from 2015-2025. A search using the keywords information-seeking behavior and health information yielded 215 matching documents. The results showed that the number of publications on this topic increased significantly, reflecting increased academic attention. This study revealed that collaboration between researchers and institutions still needs to be improved to enrich research in this area. Housewives play a central role in seeking, evaluating, and using health information for family decision-making. However, challenges remain regarding the validity and relevance of information, especially in rural areas. This study recommends strengthening health information literacy through educational programs involving health institutions and the government and developing research strategies that focus on social, economic, and cultural factors that influence health information-seeking behavior. By mapping publication trends, geographical distribution of research, and collaboration patterns, this study is expected to provide new insights, fill existing knowledge gaps, and provide a foundation for more effective interventions to support family health through accurate and reliable information.
