Trends in Health Management Research: An Analysis of Tübitak 2209 Student Projects

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the distribution of TÜBİTAK 2209-A student research project topics submitted by health management departments and to evaluate the frequency of student projects conducted within these departments. Materials and Methods: In this context, accepted applications from 2020 to 2024 were examined through the TÜBİTAK website, and those originating from health management departments were included in the study. A total of 269 project titles from seven application periods were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Twelve themes were identified in total. Findings indicated that the most frequently studied topics were public health (72 projects), management and organization (46 projects), Covid-19 (30 projects), and patient-physician communication and patient satisfaction (29 projects). Conversely, accounting-finance (2 projects), health tourism (7 projects), and violence (7 projects) were among the less frequently addressed topics. Conclusion: The findings of the study highlight prominent research topics in health management departments and provide potential research directions for future student projects, particularly emphasizing less explored areas such as health policies, sustainability, health financing, and digital health technologies.
