Abstract

The aim of this study to examine postgraduate studies on "rheumatoid arthritis" found in the YÖK Thesis Center using bibliometric analysis techniques. Bibliometric analysis offers a different approach to identifying changes in studies on rheumatoid arthritis in nursing and developing new studies on the subject. After searching conducted on this topic, 31 theses were found. The accessed theses were subjected to bibliometric analysis, page count, year, research type/method/form, university, departments, advisor titles, and keywords. Content analysis was performed using the "MAXQDA 2024" software package, which is developed for qualitative and mixed methods. For these studies, 21 were presented as master's theses and 10 as doctoral theses, with the first thesis published in 1998. The theses examined regarding rheumatoid arthritis will contribute to the literature by allowing scientists who will conduct research to see the current situation and by guiding studies in the relevant scientific field.

Özet

Bu çalışma, “romatoid artrit” araştırma başlığında YÖK Tez veritabanında yer alan lisansüstü çalışmaların bibliyometrik analiz tekniği ile incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bibliyometrik analiz, hemşirelikte romatoid artrit konusunda yapılan çalışmalardaki değişimleri belirlemede ve konuya ilişkin yeni çalışmalar geliştirmede farklı bir yaklaşım sunmaktadır. Bu kapsamda yapılan arama sonucunda 31 lisansüstü teze ulaşılmıştır. Ulaşılan tezlerde, sayfa sayısı, yıl, araştırma türü/tipi/şekli, üniversite, anabilim dalları, danışman unvanları, anahtar kelimeler gibi bibliyometrik özellikleri analiz edilmiştir. Veri analizinde nitel ve karma yöntemler için geliştirilmiş “MAXQDA 2024” programı aracılığıyla içerik analizi yapılmıştır. 21’i yüksek lisans ve 10’nu doktora tezi olarak sunulan çalışmalarda ilk tez 1998 yılında yayınlanmıştır. İncelenen Romatoid artrit ile ilgili tezlerin çalışma yapacak olan bilim insanlarının mevcut durumu görmeleri ve ilgili bilimsel alanda çalışmalara rehberlik etmesiyle literatüre katkı sunacaktır.
