| dc.description.abstract | Aim: 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. | en_US |
| dc.description.sponsorship | When the countries in which publications on access to health services by refugees were published, institutions and collaborations were analyzed. Studies on these topics were often published by authors working in the United States, Canada, and Australia, countries founded by refugees and still regularly receiving immigrants (UNHCR 2024 ). Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that Jordan and Türkiye, which stand out as the two countries that have accepted the highest number of refugees, especially after the Syrian civil war (UNHCR 2024), were also among the top six countries with the highest number of publications right after the United Kingdom, which ranked fourth in this topic. Regarding the number of citations, Jordan and Türkiye were also included in the list, after the top four countries, followed by European countries. It is known that the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom have high Global Health Security (GHS) Index scores, ranking among the highest‐scoring countries (Bell & Nuzzo 2021 ). In countries such as Türkiye, Jordan, or Germany, where the number of refugees is high, English is not the official or commonly spoken language. Due to the dominance of the English language in academic publishing or lack of research funding in countries like Türkiye and Jordan, English‐speaking countries with high GHS Index scores, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, come first in terms of publications, citations, collaboration, funding, and productivity. It may be recommended that nurse researchers in Europe, Türkiye, and Jordan develop funded projects and collaborate with international colleagues in countries with high GHS Index scores. At this point, it may be beneficial for researchers working in countries such as Türkiye and Jordan to take the initiative to participate in these collaborations, thereby carrying out more qualified and comprehensive studies. In this regard, researchers can seek funding from major organizations such as the UNHCR, WHO, ICN, IOM, and the European Commission's Directorate‐General for Migration and Home Affairs under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF). | |
