Bu çalışma ruhsal hastalıkların kentsel yaşam entegrasyonu ile ilgili bilimsel bilgi birikimini betimlemek ve ana temaları ortaya çıkarmak amacıyla ele alınmıştır. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman analizi tekniğine başvurulmuştur. Konuyla ilgili 2003-2024 yıllarını kapsayacak şekilde ulusal ve uluslararası veri tabanları taranmıştır. Veri kaynakları olarak PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus ve TR Dizin akademik veri tabanlarından anahtar kelimeler ile yapılan taramalarda alınma kriterlerine uyan 40 çalışmaya rastlanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, betimleyici yaklaşımla değerlendirilmiştir. 2003-2024 yılları arasındaki tematik incelemede, en çok yayının 2017-2021 yılları arasında olduğu görülmektedir. Yapılan tematik analizde belirlenen dört temanın dağılımları şöyle bulunmuştur: “Kentsel çevre ve psikolojik stres” (n=18); “Sosyal eşitsizlik ve damgalama” (n=13), “Yeşil alanlar ve ruh sağlığı” (n=6) ile “Sosyal izolasyon ve yalnızlık” (n=3) temalarının izlediği saptanmıştır. Ülke dağılımına bakıldığında, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri (n=17) ilgili temalarda en fazla yayına sahip ülke olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Ruhsal hastalıklar ve kentsel yaşamın entegrasyonu, ruh sağlığı sorunları ile kentsel ortamlarda yaşama deneyimleri arasındaki karmaşık ilişkiyi ifade eder. Hızlı değişim, sosyal karmaşıklık, yüksek nüfus yoğunluğu ve çevresel stres faktörleri ile karakterize edilen kentsel yaşam, ruh sağlığı koşullarının başlangıcını, alevlenmesini veya yönetimini ya da akıl hastalığı da bireylerin kentsel alanlarda gezinme, etkileşim kurma ve deneyimleme biçimlerini etkileyebilir. Kentsel yaşam ve ruhsal sağlık arasındaki karmaşık ilişkiyi anlamak, daha sağlıklı kentsel alanlar yaratmak ve kent sakinleri için ruh sağlığı sonuçlarını iyileştirmek için çok önemlidir.

INTEGRATION OF MENTAL ILLNESSES WITH URBAN LIFE: A THEMATIC LITERATURE ANALYSIS (2003-2024)

Öz

This study aims to describe the body of scientific knowledge on the integration of mental health into urban living and to identify its main themes. The document analysis technique-one of the qualitative research methods-was employed. National and international academic databases covering the years 2003-2024 were systematically reviewed. Data sources included PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and TR Dizin, and 40 studies meeting the inclusion criteria were identified through keyword searches. The results were analyzed using a descriptive approach. The thematic analysis of studies published between 2003 and 2024 revealed that the highest concentration of publications occurred between 2017 and 2021. The descriptive analysis identified four primary themes with the following distributions: “Urban environment and psychological stress” (n=18), “Social inequality and stigma” (n=13), “Green spaces and mental health” (n=6), and “Social isolation and loneliness” (n=3). Regarding country distribution, the United States (n=17) emerged as the leading contributor to the relevant themes. The integration of mental health and urban living reflects the complex relationship between mental health problems and the experience of living in urban settings. Characterized by rapid change, social complexity, high population density, and environmental stressors, urban life can influence the onset, exacerbation, or management of mental health conditions, while mental illness can also shape how individuals navigate, interact with, and experience urban spaces. Understanding the complex relationship between urban life and mental health is essential for creating healthier urban environments and improving mental health outcomes for city residents.
