Abstract

This systematic review aims to examine the postgraduate theses on scale development related to nurses in Türkiye between January 2014 and August 2024. The research was conducted by searching the National Thesis Database of the Council of Higher Education in Türkiye. The data obtained were analysed in terms of parameters such as thesis type, supervisor titles, research areas and distribution by years. A total of 930 theses were reached with the keyword scale development. Of the theses examined, 90 were in the field of nursing and 25 theses met the criteria for inclusion in the study. One thesis was excluded because it was irrelevant and 24 theses were analysed. Of these, eight are master's theses and 16 are doctoral theses. 58.4% of the theses were supervised by supervisors with the title of professor. Most of the theses focused on nursing management. The scales developed are effective tools to increase the work processes, patient safety and professional competences of nurses. In this study, comprehensive information is given about the scales developed in the field of nursing.

Özet

Bu sistematik inceleme, Ocak 2014-Ağustos 2024 yılları arasında Türkiye'deki hemşirelerle ilgili ölçek geliştirme konulu lisansüstü tezleri incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma, Türkiye'deki Yükseköğretim Kurulu'nun Ulusal Tez Veritabanı taranarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler, tez türü, danışman unvanları, araştırma alanları ve yıllara göre dağılım gibi parametreler açısından analiz edilmiştir. Ölçek geliştirme anahtar kelimesi ile toplam 930 teze ulaşılmıştır. İncelenen tezlerin 90 tanesi hemşirelik alanında olup, 25 tane tez ise çalışmaya dahil edilme kriterlerini sağlamaktadır. Bir tez, konu dışı olduğu için çıkarılmış olup, 24 tez incelenmiştir. Bunlardan sekizi yüksek lisans ve 16’sı doktora tezidir. Tezlerin %58.4’ü profesör unvanına sahip danışmanlar tarafından yönetilmiştir. Tezlerin büyük bir kısmı hemşirelik yönetimi konularına odaklanmıştır. Geliştirilen ölçekler, hemşirelerin iş süreçlerini, hasta güvenliğini ve mesleki yeterliliklerini artırmakta etkili araçlardır. Bu çalışmada hemşirelik alanında geliştirilen ölçekler hakkında kapsamlı bilgi verilmiştir.
