Abstract

This study addresses the need for pharmacists to develop secure patient care skills. Pharmacists improve patients' health through pharmaceutical services. Systems thinking ensures optimal treatment outcomes by systematically examining all patient needs. This study used bibliometrics to evaluate science education's role in "systems thinking"development. 328 SCOPUS articles were carefully chosen to cover the topic. The study tracked "science education"and "systems thinking"research from 1972 to 2022. VoSviewer and Bibliometrix were used to examine publication and citation trends, keywords, significant authors and journals, and research foci. The most-cited journal was the Journal of Chemical Education. "Science education"and "systems thinking"research focused on "System theory,""Systems science,""decision making,""behavioral research,""Learning,""Problem solving,""human experiment,""public health,"and "systems analysis."This study sheds light on how science education fosters "systems thinking"and lays the groundwork for future research. This research advances scientific education and guides future research. © 2025 Author(s).
