Palliative care (PC) refers to all services provided to make the remaining life of a patient meaningful and valuable. It is recommended that palliative care that is applied to improve the life quality of the patients should not be based only on the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease but also on the need of the patients. Even, palliative care was administered only in the late stages of diseases in the past, but these days it is recommended to be administered in addition to therapies starting from the diagnosis of life-threatening diseases. Palliative care requires a multidisciplinary team approach consisting of professionals who serve for a common purpose. No single palliative care model can be fit for all conditions. However, there is a universal fundamental principle of palliative care: it should address the individual wishes and needs of each patient and the relatives of patients. The development and training of palliative care services vary from country to country: palliative care services are in the development stage in developing countries, compared to developed countries. This chapter provides necessary information about palliative care services, a multidisciplinary health service.

Health and art disciplines have worked in cooperation for the development of health from past to present. Today’s understanding of health requires the integration of concepts, such as creative thinking, intuitive and aesthetic knowledge, spiritual awareness, integration, and maturation, which are extremely important in the development of health. The examination of the process of making and creating art and the development of aesthetic sensations that occur at the end of this process play an important role in both the development of health, the growth and maturation of the individual, and the recovery and repair of illness. Art activities not only support holistic health but also act as a source of motivation for well-being. The inclusion of art in health care services has positive effects on society from the more broad perspective of health professionals, patients, and their families. In this review, the relationship between art and health, which is as old as human history, is discussed in line with the literature review, and the dimension of art in improving health is examined. In addition, in line with the studies carried out, the effects of art therapy on individuals with health problems and art therapy methods are discussed.

Music therapy, which is widely recommended for patients living with chronic problems, is actually a mind-body therapy. This therapy, which has been used clinically for more than a century, is one of the oldest treatment methods and is known to have been used in the treatment of patients in various cultures for four thousand years. Music therapy, known as simple harmonic movement, is rich in psychological and physiological effects. Used to support emotional, mental, and physical health, music therapy is an integrative art therapy method that provides a way to express feelings and experiences that cannot easily be expressed through words. Particularly in recent years, it has been observed that interest in traditional and complementary medicine in the field of health has increased worldwide. In this context, music therapy, one of the art therapy methods, attracts attention as a treatment method preferred by people among medical alternative treatment methods. In this section, the journey of music therapy from past to present and the neurophysiology of music are briefly explained and its effects on health problems are discussed in the light of findings in the literature.

This study is a Bibliometrix analysis conducted in the field of health between 2014 and 2025 using the keywords “hemodialysis,” “art therapy,” and “chronic kidney failure.” A search was conducted in the Scopus database to access relevant articles. The keywords “hemodialysis,” “art therapy,” and “chronic kidney failure” were used in the search. As a result, a total of 29,242 studies were identified, and 402 studies meeting the criteria were included for analysis. The research was analyzed and visualized using Biblioshiny, the web interface provider of the R-based Bibliometrix analysis program. The number of studies on the use of art therapy in hemodialysis patients peaked in 2024. The United States produced the highest number of publications. In conceptual networks, the theme “Chronic Kidney Failure” stood out. In the document co-citation network, the paper published by Cupisti was prominent, Fouque was the most productive author, and the journal with the most publications was the Journal of Renal Nutrition. Mayo Clinic was the university with the highest number of publications. The review of studies conducted in the last 11 years on hemodialysis and art therapy showed that effective interventions for improving and enhancing health have been tested. Additionally, while art therapy emerges as a supportive treatment method for alleviating symptoms in chronic kidney failure, the academic output in this field is still insufficient. In conclusion, this bibliometric analysis provides valuable information for researchers in terms of strategic planning, developing collaborations, and identifying gaps in the literature.

This study aims to profile the relationship between clinical mentoring and student stress in health sciences education bibliometrically between 1975 and April 2026, and to analyze the conceptual evolution of the field and future research trends. Research data were obtained from the Scopus database using the keyword combinations “Clinical Mentoring”, “Stress”, and “Health Sciences”. A total of 274 documents were examined using bibliometric mapping, network analysis, and thematic clustering techniques with R-Biblioshiny, VOSviewer, and Python libraries. The analysis results showed that the literature exhibited a steady growth rate of 5.45% annually, and the nursing discipline was dominant (41.8%). VOSviewer network analysis revealed that the concepts of “preceptorship”, “burnout”, and “clinical supervision” were central. According to the thematic map results, themes such as “360-degree video” and “clinical reflection” have become the driving themes, while “well-being,” “loneliness,” and “resilience” are identified as rising trends in the 2024-2026 projection. The USA, the UK, and Australia are leading countries in scientific production. The clinical mentoring literature has evolved from a traditional technical skills focus to a holistic well-being and digital adaptation focus. There is a significant literature gap regarding mentoring models in fields such as dentistry and pharmacy. Future research is expected to focus on the effects of AI-supported mentoring systems on student psychology.
