Abstract
Objective: This study was performed to determine the features of doctoral theses in the field of family nursing in Turkey, and the distribution of the doctoral theses by their subjects. Study Design: Based on scanning of the concepts and departments, the data of this descriptive study were retrospectively obtained from the National Thesis Database Center of the Higher Education Council. Its search concept used the words, “family and home care”, and its search department used the word, “nursing”. The data were analyzed using a questionnaire consisted of 10 items developed by the researchers. The items included the date when the thesis was completed, study design, study subject, location of the research, study sample, sample size, interventions, model use and department. Results: This study obtained the complete texts of 46 doctoral theses. The evaluation found that 65.2% of the theses in the field of family nursing were made between the years of 2004 and 2016. In 54.3% of the theses, the sample group consists of relatives of the patients and near the half of the studies were half-experimental and 52.2% of them were done in clinics. Models were used by only 10.9% of the theses. Conclusion: Doctoral theses related to family nursing and home care increased in the 2000 s. They focused on caregivers due to increasing chronic diseases. The few family-based studies on protecting and developing health, one of the basic functions of the nurses, show that much more attention should be devoted to this field.

Abstract
Amaç: Bu çalışma, Türkiye’de aile hemşireliği konusunda yapılmış doktora tezlerinin özelliklerini ve konularına göre dağılımını belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma Planı: Tanımlayıcı tipte olan bu çalışmanın verileri geriye dönük olarak Yüksek Öğretim Kurulu Ulusal Tez Merkezi veri tabanından kavram ve anabilim dalı düzeyinde tarama yapılarak elde edilmiştir. Kavram taramasında, “aile, evde bakım”; anabilim dalı taramasında ise, “hemşirelik” kelimeleri kullanılmıştır. Tezler araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen 10 maddelik soru formu değerlendirilmiştir. Bunlar tezin tamamlanma yılı ve hangi anabilim dalında yapıldığı, örneklem grubu, araştırma tipi, araştırmanın yapıldığı yer, araştırma konusu, model kullanılma durumudur. Verilerin analizinde sayı ve yüzdelikler kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Bu çalışmada tam metnine ulaşılan 46 doktora tezi incelenmiştir. Değerlendirme sonucunda aile hemşireliği alanında yapılan tezlerin %65,2’sinin 2004–2016 yılları arasında yapıldığı saptanmıştır. Tezlerin %54,3’ünün örneklem grubunu hasta yakınları oluşturmakta olup, çalışmaların yarısına yakını yarı deneyseldir ve %52,2’si klinikte yapılmıştır. Tezlerin sadece %10,9’unda model kullanılmıştır. Sonuç: Aile, aile hemşireliği ve evde bakıma yönelik yapılan doktora tezlerinin özellikle 2000’li yıllarda artış gösterdiği ve genellikle artan kronik hastalıklara bağlı olarak bakım vericilere yönelik yapıldığı görülmektedir. Hemşirelerin temel fonksiyonlarında birisi olan sağlığın korunması ve geliştirilmesinde aile temelli yapılan çalışmaların az olması bu alana daha fazla önem verilmesi gerektiğini göstermektedir.
