Article Mapping the Evolution of Stigmatization in Mental Disorders: A Bibliometric Analysis From 1974 to 2024(Springer Heidelberg, 2026) Goktas, Polat; Dikec, GulBackgroundThis bibliometric study scrutinizes the thematic evolution of research on stigma and discrimination in mental disorders, covering a span of five decades. It reflects on the shifting paradigms within the stigma-focused mental health research community from 1974 to 2024.MethodsA comprehensive bibliometric analysis was employed using the Bibliometrix R package and VOSviewer software, analyzing 1,892 articles from databases like Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed Central, and APA PsycInfo. Adherence to PRIBA guidelines ensured a holistic representation of the evolving research narrative.ResultsThe analysis outlined three distinct periods: the Genesis Period (1974 - 2007), focusing on foundational concepts of mental disorders and stigma; the Growth Period (2008 - 2015), which experienced a broadening into themes of discrimination and diagnostic refinement; and the Rapid Growth Period (2016 - 2024), characterized by a surge in research on child mental disorders and the impacts of posttraumatic stress disorder. Network analyses highlighted significant journals, key authors, and international collaborations that have shaped this field.ConclusionsThe study maps a significant transformation in stigma-focused mental health research themes over fifty years, highlighting the growing complexity and the need for ongoing research into stigma and discrimination. It calls for interdisciplinary approaches to tackle these enduring challenges effectively.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1A Bibliometric Analysis of Nursing Research in the Field of Refugee Health Between 1980 and 2024(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2025) Öztürk, Gizem; Dikeç, Gül; Harmanci Seren, Arzu KaderAim: This study aimed to examine the bibliographic characteristics of publications on refugees in the nursing field. Design: A bibliometric analysis design was adopted for the study. Sample: Included the articles scanned in the Web of Science Core Collection database. 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. Nurses and researchers should establish partnerships and share best practices with leading countries. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Examination of the Mental Health Status of University Students Directly or Indirectly Affected by the Earthquake(SAGE Publications Inc., 2025) Ayık, Y.; Kaya, H.; Sarısahin, S.; Ozturk, B.; Kayıhan, H.Objective: This study examines the mental health status of university students directly affected by the earthquake in the disaster zone and those indirectly affected by being outside the earthquake zone during the Kahramanmaraş earthquake that struck Turkey on February 6, 2023. Methods: A total of 109 students from 37 universities in 24 cities participated. Data were collected using an online survey that included a Demographic Information Form, the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), the Earthquake Anxiety Scale, the DSM-5 PTSD checklist, and the Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale-21. Mental health outcomes of directly and indirectly affected students were compared. Results: Students directly affected showed significantly higher levels of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and earthquake-related anxiety. Among indirectly affected students, females reported higher IES-R, PTSD, and earthquake anxiety scores than males. Regression analysis identified factors such as earthquake exposure, loss of relatives, involvement in search and rescue, and relocation as linked to adverse mental health outcomes. Conclusion: Although students directly affected by the earthquake are at greater risk for PTSD, depression, and anxiety, both groups face significant mental health problems. As these effects may be ongoing rather than temporary, the role of occupational therapy in promoting occupational engagement and mental health in disaster management is noteworthy. © The Author(s) 2025Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 7Syrian Refugees' Experiences While Receiving Mental Health Services and Psychiatric Nursing Care: a Qualitative Study(Wiley, 2024) Ozturk, Gizem; Timarcioglu, Kuebra; Dikec, Gul; Karali, Ece; Nacaroglu, Hamza; Cakir, Hanife; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci; Harmanci Seren, Arzu KaderAim: This study examined the experiences of Syrian refugees in a community centre in Turkiye as they access mental health services and receive psychiatric nursing care.Design: A qualitative design was adopted in the study.Methods: Data were collected from southern Turkiye between November and December 2021. The researchers conducted three semi-structured focus group interviews. Colaizzi's phenomenological method was followed to analyse the qualitative data. A total of 19 Syrian refugees participated in the focus group interviews.Results: Three key themes related to immigrants' experiences of receiving mental health services and nursing care were identified: barriers to receiving mental health services, coping with negative experiences in Turkiye and satisfaction with mental health services. The participants identified the barriers they experienced while receiving health services as those pertaining to language, discrimination and stigmatization. They also mentioned the methods of coping with these negative experiences in Turkiye. Despite their negative experiences, they expressed satisfaction with the mental health services they received, especially psychiatric nursing care.Conclusions: This study determined that Syrian refugees face barriers in accessing and receiving mental health services. They stated that mental health professionals in Turkiye approach them with empathy, particularly those in psychiatric nursing. Healthcare professionals may be trained in culturally sensitive care to increase awareness.
