Türkiye'de Sağlık Turizmi Alanında Yapılan Lisansüstü Tezlerin İçerik Değerlendirmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışma, sağlık turizmi alanında yapılmış lisansüstü tezlerin incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu amaç kapsamında yapılmış tezler; yıllara, tezin türüne, üniversitelere, enstitülere, anabilim dallarına ve yayın dillerine göre sınıflandırılmıştır. Buna ek olarak, temel ve alt konu alanları belirlenmiş ve örnekleme ilişkin bilgiler sunulmuştur. Yüksek Öğretim Kurumu (YÖK) tez veri tabanından “sağlık turizmi, medikal turizm, termal turizm, yaşlı turizmi, engeli turizmi” anahtar kelimeleri ile tarama yapılmıştır. Tarama sonucunda 95 adet teze ulaşılmıştır. Tezlerin %82,11’inin yüksek lisans tezi olduğu, tamamına yakınının (%96,84) Türkçe yazıldığı ve yarısından fazlasının “İşletme” ve “Turizm İşletmeciliği” anabilim dallarında yapıldığı görülmektedir. Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi, Balıkesir Üniversitesi ve Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi en çok teze sahip olan üniversitelerdir. Tezlerin en fazla termal turizm alanlarında yapıldığı, sağlık tüketicilerinin en sık çalışılan örneklem grubunu oluşturduğu ve anketin en çok kullanılan veri toplama aracı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu araştırmanın, sağlık turizmi alanında ileride yapılacak olan çalışma konularını belirleyebilmek açısından araştırmacılara yol göstereceği düşünülmektedir
