Objective: This study aims to identify key trends and focal points in rheumatoid arthritis-related nursing research to enhance the quality of nursing care by informing future study planning in this area.
Materials and Methods: The data for the study were obtained from studies published between July 13, 2024, and July 16, 2024, in the Web of Science Core Collection database using the keywords "rheumatoid arthritis" and "nursing," and from studies with "research" and "review article" in the "nursing" category published between 2004-2024. The content analysis of 275 publications obtained in this context was performed with the VOSviewer program 1.6.19.
Results: Within the scope of the study, 2,376 publications in the Web of Science category constituted the universe of the study, and the study, which included 275 studies featuring the keywords "rheumatoid arthritis" and "nursing," constituted the sample of the study. Chen SH, Pietilä AM, Salt E, Shao JH, and Yu KH (n=5) found that the number of studies on the subject was the highest. When examined in terms of document type, the distribution was mostly "research" (n=239). In terms of publication years, the highest number of publications was in 2019 (n=21) and the least in 2017 (n=7). The publication language was mostly English (n=264). When evaluated in terms of countries, the United States of America (n=112) ranked first, while the number of publications was low in England (n=22) and Turkey (n=20). Considering the journals in which the studies were published, the "Journal of Clinical Nursing" (n=27) was found to be the journal with the most publications in this field. The most frequently used and linked keyword was "rheumatoid arthritis," and "Fatigue as experienced by patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A qualitative study" was part of the general survey on the subject. "The Effects of Aromatherapy Massage and Reflexology on Pain and Fatigue in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Randomized Controlled Trial" was the most cited article in our country.
Conclusion: It has been determined that the studies on rheumatoid arthritis published in the field of nursing have not yet reached a sufficient level. It has been concluded that nurses should take an active role in order to carry out more evidence-based studies on the subject and to integrate the studies into the clinic.
