Nurse Entrepreneurship in the Emerging Healthcare Industry: A Systematic Review

Öz

Entrepreneurship is encouraged in every sector in the twenty-first century. In the field of health, nurse entrepreneurship emerges as an important issue in providing health services and improving public health. In this research, the development of entrepreneurial behavior in nursing in the world and a systematic examination of this development within the framework of academic knowledge are aimed. For this purpose, the types of entrepreneurship discussed in the last 10 years of research in the field of entrepreneurship in nursing and the methods, findings and results of these studies were examined. As a result of the search made in databases with high international recognition, 78.761 publications on nurse entrepreneurship were reached in the last ten years, and 30 articles were included in the final review. Classical, social, collective and intrapreneurship were discussed in these studies, which were examined in terms of entrepreneurship typology. As a result of the review, it was seen that the studies in the literature mostly focused on the opportunities and obstacles in front of entrepreneurial nurses. While collective entrepreneurship was included for the first time in the literature, it was found that eco-entrepreneurship and digital entrepreneurship have not yet been the subject of research on nurse entrepreneurship. However, it has been found that more research is needed on the relations between entrepreneurial nurses and non-governmental organizations, the incentives for increasing entrepreneurship and role modeling in entrepreneurship.

Gelişmekte Olan Sağlık Sektöründe Hemşire Girişimciliği: Sistematik Derleme

Öz

Yirmi birinci yüzyılda girişimcilik her sektörde teşvik edilmektedir. Sağlık alanında hemşire girişimciliği, sağlık hizmetlerinin sunumunda ve halk sağlığının geliştirilmesinde önemli bir konu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu araştırmada dünyada hemşirelikte girişimci davranışın gelişimi ve bu gelişimin akademik bilgi çerçevesinde sistematik olarak incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaçla hemşirelikte girişimcilik alanında son on yılda yapılan araştırmalarda ele alınan girişimcilik türleri ve bu çalışmaların yöntemleri, bulguları ve sonuçları incelenmiştir. Uluslararası tanınırlığı yüksek veritabanlarında yapılan tarama sonucunda hemşire girişimciliği ile ilgili son on yılda 78.761 yayına ulaşılmış, 30 makale son incelemeye dâhil edilmiştir. Girişimcilik tipolojisi açısından incelenen bu çalışmalarda klasik, sosyal, kolektif ve iç girişimcilik ele alınmıştır. Yapılan inceleme sonucunda alanyazındaki çalışmaların daha çok girişimci hemşirelerin önündeki fırsat ve engellere odaklandığı görülmüştür. Kolektif girişimcilik alanyazında ilk kez yer alırken, eko-girişimcilik ve dijital girişimciliğin hemşire girişimciliği konusunda henüz araştırma konusu olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Ancak girişimci hemşireler ile sivil toplum kuruluşları arasındaki ilişkiler, girişimciliği artırmaya yönelik teşvikler ve girişimcilikte rol model olma konusunda daha fazla araştırmaya ihtiyaç olduğu görülmektedir.
