摘要：
The pervasive online availability of health information has revolutionized how individuals seek medical advice. With a simple search, individuals can access vast amounts of information about their symptoms, medical conditions, and treatments. This has led to the emergence of a phenomenon known as "cyberchondria," which refers to excessive searching for health information online. While seeking health information can improve health literacy, cyberchondria can have negative consequences, such as increased distress and healthcare utilization. This bibliometric study explores the literature of cyberchondria and online health information seeking behavior in order to inform professional practice in libraries.
