Assessment of Articles Published in Nursing Journals Between 2006 and 2010 in Turkey

Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study was assessment of articles published in nursing journals between 2006 and 2010 in Turkey. Method: The study was retrospective and descriptive. In this study, 1013 articles from the archives of 11 edited and electronically accessible nursing journals published periodically between 2006 and 2010 in Turkey were reviewed through a structured evaluation form upon a literature survey conducted by the authors. Data was evaluated by SPSS software program. Results: In the present research, it was determined that the majority of the articles published in the nursing journals were descriptive-type research articles with two authors that mainly focused on patient care; that the questionnaires prepared by the researchers were used as data collection tools in general, and that few of those studies had funding support. Conclusions: The study displayed that Turkish nursing was currently at the starting phase of the process of generating scientific information within the context of descriptive research, but was gaining impetus towards becoming a scientific discipline and generating its own body of nursing information. It can be concluded in light of the research results that nurse researchers should be engaged in experimental, methodological and qualitative researches rather than descriptive ones, and the studies on nursing should be supported financially more

Türkiye’de 2006 ve 2010 Yılları Arasında Hemşirelik Dergilerinde Yayınlanan Makalelerin Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de 2006-2010 yılları arasında hemşirelik dergilerinde yayınlanan makalelerin çeşitli özelliklerinin değerlendirilmesidir. Yöntem: Çalışma tanımlayıcı ve retrospektif türdedir. Çalışmaya Ulusal Tez Tarama Merkezi veri tabanları ile Türkiye’de düzenli olarak yayınlanan, editörlü ve çevrimiçi olarak ulaşılabilen 2006-2010 yılları arasında yayınlanmış 11 hemşirelik dergisinin arşivinde yer alan 1013 makale alınmıştır. Bu makaleler araştırmacılar tarafından literatür taraması yapılarak yapılandırılmış bir değerlendirme formu aracılığı ile incelenmiştir. İnceleme sonucunda elde edilen bilgiler SPSS veri tabanında, sayı ve yüzdelikler yardımı ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Hemşirelik dergilerinde basılan makalelerin yayın türünün en fazla araştırma makalesi, tanımlayıcı türde ve iki yazarlı olduğu, veri toplama aracı olarak soru formunun kullanıldığı, çalışılan konuların çoğunlukla hasta bakımına yönelik olduğu ve çok azının maddi destek aldığı belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Araştırmadan elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda Türk hemşireliğinin ortaya koyduğu tanımlayıcı araştırmalar ile bilimsel bilgi üretiminin henüz başında olduğu, bununla birlikte, bilimsel bir disiplin olma ve kendi hemşirelik bilgisini üretme yolunda giderek hız kazandığı söylenebilir. Çalışmanın bulgularına dayanarak, hemşire araştırmacıların tanımlayıcı araştırmalardan ziyade deneysel, metodolojik ve niteliksel çalışmalar yapmaya yönelmesi ve hemşirelik alanında yapılan çalışmaların finansal olarak daha fazla desteklenmesi önerilebilir.
