Abstract

Marriages that are carried out without being prepared mentally, physically or financially can cause problems for the continuation of the marriage. The impacts that arise also vary, starting from the health of mothers who are pregnant at a young age, the condition of children born to young mothers, the psychology of the couple, and what is even worse is the impact of divorce. In this research study, researchers need information about innovations and new trends for the topic. Objective: The purpose of this research is to explore the number of publication trends and citation trends with the highest number of publications, as well as which fields are approved for publication, network visualization, overlay visualization, and density visualization through bibliometric analysis. Method: This research uses bibliometric analysis. Records were identified through database searches https://app.dimensions.ai/, continued through the PRISMA flowchart. Publications from 2019 – 2023, focus on psychology, health science, health services and systems, clinical science. The type of publication is an article, the data is analyzed using VOSviewer, then a review is carried out by the co-occurrence and co-author.
