The study excluded the other databases and gray literature.Measurements The 2120 articles published between 1980 and 2024 that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed using Bibliometrix in RStudio, VOSviewer, and Microsoft Excel software.Results The majority of publications were published in 2024. The United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia have the highest publications, citations, and international cooperation. Additionally, "mental health" is one of the most frequently used keywords in studies.Conclusions The increased migration rates and the growing need for healthcare for refugees underscore the importance of investing in nursing research within this field.

Psychometric Properties of the Gender Role Attitudes Scale Among Turkish Nursing Students and Factors Affecting Their Attitudes
(Wiley, 2022) Harmancı Seren, Arzu Kader; Harmanci Seren, Arzu Kader; Hemşirelik Bölümü
Purpose This study aimed to test the psychometric properties of the Gender Roles Attitudes Scale-Turkish Version (GRAS-TR) and evaluate nursing students' gender role attitudes. Design and Methods This was a psychometric and descriptive study. The sample consisted of 916 nursing students at two state universities in Turkey. Findings The content validity index of the scale was 0.89. The confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the fit indices were acceptable/good. Test-retest results and Cronbach alpha coefficient showed that the scale has high reliability. Nursing students scored above midlevel from GRAS-TR. Practice Implications GRAS-TR is a valid and reliable instrument. Nursing students who were women, had postgraduate education, few siblings, and were not born/raised in the eastern region had a more egalitarian attitude.

The Relationship Between Perceived Quality of Care and the Patient Safety Culture of Turkish Nurses
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2022) Harmancı Seren, Arzu Kader; Akin, Semiha; Harmanci Seren, Arzu Kader; Hemşirelik Bölümü
Background Evaluating nurses' perceived quality of care and safety culture is an essential part of the nursing practice and critical to improving the quality of nursing care. Purpose This study aimed to examine the relationship between perceived quality of care and Turkish nurses' patient safety culture. Methods This was a descriptive cross-sectional study. The data were collected from a foundation university hospital in Istanbul. The sample consisted of 116 nurses, and data were collected using the Caring Behaviors Inventory-24 and Patient Safety Culture Scale. The nurses were asked to complete the questionnaires. Results The mean age of participating nurses was 25.95 (SD = 6.72) years. The mean duration of professional experience of the participants was 6.37 (SD = 6.05) years. Most (72.4%) of the participants were women who had graduated from vocational high schools (52.6%) and were working in the neonatal intensive care unit (37.9%). The highest mean subdimension score on the Caring Behaviors Inventory-24 was 5.78 (SD = 0.43) for the knowledge and skills subdimension. The highest mean subdimension score on the Patient Safety Culture Scale was 3.55 (SD = 0.48) for the unexpected event and error reporting subdimension. Statistically significant correlations were found between Caring Behaviors Inventory-24 and Patient Safety Culture Scale scores (r = .553, p < .01), with the lowest correlation found between the employee behavior and knowledge and skills dimensions (r = .305, p = .001). The highest statistically significant correlation coefficients that were found were between the Patient Safety Culture Scale total scores and the connectedness dimension of the Caring Behaviors Inventory-24 (r = .58, p < .001). Conclusions/Implications for Practice Nurses perceive patient care positively and have a positive perception of safety culture. Evaluating the perceived quality of care and patient safety culture perceptions will help prevent adverse events related to patient care and improve the quality of care.
