Mental wellness is a crucial component of everyone's life and vital for our life; an inequity will lead to adverse consequences pertinent to their profession and personal life. Moreover, it is pivotal for employees working in the healthcare industry, i.e., medical doctors, nurses, healthcare assistants, and support staff who treat the community's ailments. This study presented in this literature review aims to identify the relationship between psychological well-being and Healthcare workers. The methodology employed is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). We provide a comprehensive bibliometric study of 623 publications on psychological well-being and healthcare workers covering 2000 to 2024, which includes 1185 literature reviews following the preferred reporting items for SPAR-4-SLR. The data retrieved for the literature review is from Scopus. Influential bibliometrics such as publications and citations, productive countries, contributing institutions, funders, journals, authors, and bibliographic couplings were studied using the Scientific Procedures and Rationales for Systematic Literature Reviews (SPAR-4-SLR) protocol and bibliometric tools. The data was curated using Vos viewer, Bibliometrix-R.
