Abstract

The aim of this study is to systematically examine the studies on self-compassion in Turkey between 2007 and 2023. In this review, bibliometric analysis, one of the quantitative research method types, was used. The research population consists of a total of 168 studies (research articles and reviews) obtained as a result of the search in databases such as DergiPark, TR Index and SOBİAD. In the study, purposive sampling method was used and MAXQDA 2020 program was used to analyze the data. The concept of self-compassion in the articles was divided into 8 main themes (year of publication, type of article, language used, data collection tools, analysis programs used, research methods, related variables, sample population) and sub-coding was performed. When some analysis results are evaluated, it is seen that research articles on the concept of self-compassion was at a higher level in 2022. It was determined that the sample of students was more preferred in articles using quantitative research methods and techniques. It was determined that the concept in question was most intensely associated with the concepts of psychological resilience, depression, and forgiveness.

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’de 2007-2023 yılları arasında öz-şefkat konusunda yapılmış olan çalışmaları sistematik bir şekilde incelemektir. Bu incelemede, nicel araştırma yöntem türlerinden birisi olan bibliyometrik analiz kullanılmıştır. Araştırma evrenini, DergiPark, TR Dizin ve SOBİAD gibi veri tabanlarında yapılan tarama sonucunda elde edilen toplam 168 çalışma (araştırma makalesi ve derleme) oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada, amaçlı örnekleme yönteminden faydalanılmış olup verilerin analizinde MAXQDA 2020 programı kullanılmıştır. Makalelerde öz-şefkat kavramı 8 ana temaya (yayınlandığı yıl, makale türü, kullanılan dil, veri toplama araçları, kullanılan analiz programları, araştırma yöntemleri, ilişkili olduğu değişkenler, örneklem kitlesi) ayrılmış ve alt kodlamalar gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bazı analiz sonuçları değerlendirildiğinde öz-şefkat kavramına ilişkin araştırma makalelerinin 2022 yılında daha yüksek seviyede olduğu görülmektedir. Nicel araştırma yöntem ve tekniklerinin kullanıldığı makalelerde öğrenciler örnekleminin daha çok tercih edildiği saptanmıştır. Söz konusu kavramın en yoğun olarak psikolojik sağlamlık, depresyon, affetme kavramları ile ilişkilendirildiği belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak öz-şefkat kavramının yazında önemli bir yer kapladığı ve ilgili araştırmaların yıllar geçtikçe artmaya başladığı görülmektedir.
