A multi-dimensional construct of Catholic health care is examined using a bibliometric analysis of 181 scientific studies from the Web of Science database. Medical ethics, religion, and health services research by 418 authors from 26 countries reveals developments in the Catholic health care domain since 1973. Using VOSviewer, we map keyword clusters to reveal the structure of research on Catholic health care that transcends religious and secular literatures. The clusters mostly reflect clinical and ethical issues of reproductive health and the end of life, as well as the essence and the future of the Catholic identity from the theological and empirical perspectives.
采用文献计量分析方法，对来自 Web of Science 数据库的 181 项科学研究进行了天主教医疗保健的多维结构研究。来自 26 个国家的 418 位作者对医学伦理、宗教和医疗服务进行了研究，揭示了自 1973 年以来天主教医疗保健领域的发展。我们使用 VOSviewer 对关键词聚类进行了映射，以揭示超越宗教和世俗文献的天主教医疗保健研究的结构。这些聚类主要反映了生殖健康和生命末期的临床和伦理问题，以及从神学和经验角度来看天主教身份的本质和未来。
