Özet:

It is a known fact that qualitative research has increased numerically in the scientific literature. In this context, our study aims to reveal the direction in which scientific studies in the field of health management are developing. Articles were accessed by searching the keywords "health management", "health management", "hospital management" and "qualitative research" in the Web of Science (WOS) database. The articles obtained as a result of the WOS research were analyzed with the R-based Biblioshiny program. Tableau program was used for visualizations. It is seen that the qualitative studies examined have shown an increasing trend, especially since 2007. According to the annual average number of citations, the most cited author was Willis-Shattuck (2008), and the least cited author was Kristensen (2008). The most frequently used keywords in the articles were "qualitative research" and "health management". Our data show that qualitative studies in health tended to increase, especially after 2007. Accordingly, it is thought that existing problems in some health services can be solved by encouraging the collection of primary data through qualitative study methods. For this reason, we think that qualitative studies that will provide strong evidence for solving the problems experienced in the management of health services should be increased.
