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 Investigating the Personal and Professional Variables That Predict Discrimination Attitudes Among Nurses and Physicians(Wiley, 2025) Tekin, Suat; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci; Harmanci Seren, Arzu KaderIntroduction: Healthcare professionals are expected to provide holistic care to their patients without discrimination based on factors such as religion, language, age, gender, and race. Design: It is a cross-sectional descriptive study. Aim: The study aimed to examine the discriminatory attitudes of nurses and physicians working in hospitals in Sanliurfa and to define whether the personal and professional variables predict discriminatory attitudes among them. Methods: The STROBE reporting method, which is one of the EQUATOR guidelines, was followed. Data were collected from a total of 376 physicians and nurses through online platforms between March and June 2020 via the information form and the Discrimination Attitude Scale. Results: The discriminatory attitudes of the nurses and physicians participating in the study were above average. The total discriminatory attitudes scores of the participants varied according to sex, income levels, profession, hospital experience, and unit (p < 0.05). In addition, sex, profession and unit variables predicted the total discriminatory attitudes of nurses and physicians (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Although nurses' and physicians' discriminatory attitudes scores were generally higher, the highest mean score was in the subscale "discrimination against other nationalities." Sex, profession, and unit variables predicted the total discriminatory attitudes of nurses and physicians. Further quantitative and qualitative research is needed to understand the reasons for the highest discriminatory attitudes towards other nationalities among healthcare professionals, to overcome this issue. Clinical Relevance: Nursing or healthcare managers, as well as policymakers, may consider the predictive variables when staffing and training nurses and physicians working in similar regions and conditions.
