Abstract :Introduction and Objective: COVID-19 has significantly affected healthcare processes along with quality studies in healthcare services. This research aims to reveal the bibliometric profile of quality studies in healthcare during COVID-19. Materials and Methods: The data were obtained from the Web of Science (WoS) core collection (n=470). The search criteria were used to access quality studies conducted in healthcare during the pandemic. Bibliometric analysis was made with the SciMAT program. Results: During COVID-19, quality studies in healthcare focused on mental health subjects. \"Quality of life\" (n=82) and \"mental health\" (n=80) were the most frequent keywords. The themes of \"insomnia,\" \"depression,\" and \"physical activity, which also affect the quality of life, were among the most frequent subjects. Conclusion: During the pandemic period, research focused on subjects of quality of life rather than managerial quality research. Although health outcomes for patients and healthcare professionals are a priority in pandemics, managerial quality issues must be addressed from a broader perspective.
