Bibliometric Analysis of Research Related to Artificial Intelligence in the Field of Nursing

Year 2025, Volume: 5 Issue: 2, 1 - 10, 29.08.2025

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the research conducted in the field of nursing with artificial intelligence bibliographically, thereby revealing current trends, research gaps, and future directions.
Materials and Methods: This study is designed as a descriptive bibliometric analysis. Research articles on artificial intelligence in nursing, published between January 2015 and February 2025, were retrieved from the Scopus database using the keywords "Artificial intelligence" and "Nursing". Based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 128 studies were included in the bibliometric analysis. The data were analyzed using Scopus and VOSviewer 1.6.19 software. The analysis examined variables such as authors, keywords, countries of research, affiliated institutions, publication years, citation counts, and keyword co-occurrence networks.
Results: This study demonstrates a rapid increase in artificial intelligence research in nursing between 2015 and 2025. The highest number of publications appeared in 2024, with key contributions from Kenrick Cato, Maxim Topaz, and Wentao Zhou. While most studies were conducted in the United States, research output from Turkey remained limited. Columbia University and the National University of Singapore were the most prolific institutions. Keyword analysis showed frequent use of terms such as "artificial intelligence," "nursing," and "machine learning." Artificial intelligence was mainly applied in patient care, clinical decision support, and education.
Conclusion: The findings indicate that the role of artificial intelligence in nursing is expanding significantly, highlighting the need for more comprehensive research in the future. It is anticipated that increasing studies in this field will lead to more effective and efficient nursing practices.

Hemşirelik Alanında Yapay Zeka ile İlgili Yapılmış Araştırmaların Bibliyografik Analizi

Year 2025, Volume: 5 Issue: 2, 1 - 10, 29.08.2025

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, yapay zeka ile hemşirelik alanında yapılan araştırmaları bibliyografik olarak inceleyerek mevcut eğilimleri, araştırma boşluklarını ve gelecekteki yönelimleri ortaya koymaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntemleri: Bu çalışma, tanımlayıcı bir bibliyometrik araştırma olarak tasarlanmıştır. Ocak 2015- Şubat 2025 tarihleri arasında hemşirelik alanında yayımlanan yapay zeka konulu çalışmalar, SCOPUS veri tabanında "Artificial intelligence" ve "Nursing" anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak taranmıştır. Belirlenen dahil etme ve hariç tutma kriterlerine göre 128 çalışma bibliyometrik analize dahil edilmiştir. Veriler, SCOPUS ve VOSviewer 1.6.19 programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Analiz kapsamında yazarlar, anahtar kelimeler, araştırmaların yapıldığı ülkeler, üniversiteler, yayın yılları, atıf sayıları ve anahtar kelime ilişkileri gibi değişkenler incelenmiştir.
Bulgular: Bu çalışma, 2015-2025 yılları arasında hemşirelikte yapay zeka araştırmalarının hızla arttığını göstermektedir. En fazla yayın 2024 yılında yapılmış, özellikle Kenrick Cato, Maxim Topaz ve Wentao Zhou gibi araştırmacılar öne çıkmıştır. Çalışmaların büyük kısmı ABD’de gerçekleştirilirken, Türkiye’de sınırlı sayıda araştırma yapılmıştır. Columbia University ve National University of Singapore en çok yayın yapan kurumlardır. Anahtar kelime analizinde "yapay zeka", "hemşirelik" ve "makine öğrenimi" terimleri sıkça kullanılmıştır. Yapay zekanın en çok hasta bakımı, klinik karar desteği ve eğitim alanlarında uygulandığı belirlenmiştir.
Sonuçlar: Elde edilen bulgular, yapay zekanın hemşirelikteki rolünün giderek büyüdüğünü ve gelecekte daha kapsamlı araştırmalara ihtiyaç duyulacağını göstermektedir. Bu alandaki çalışmaların artırılmasıyla, hemşirelik uygulamalarının daha etkili ve verimli olacağı öngörülmektedir.
