Abstract
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.

Abstract
Bilimsel literatürde nitel araştırmaların sayısal olarak arttığı bilinen bir gerçektir. Bu bağlamda çalışmamızda sağlık yönetimi alanında yapılan bilimsel çalışmaların ne yönde gelişim seyrettiğinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmaktadır.
Makalelere Web of Science (WOS) veri tabanında "sağlık yönetimi", "sağlık yönetimi", "hastane yönetimi" ve "nitel araştırma" anahtar kelimeleri aranarak ulaşılmıştır. WOS araştırması sonucu elde edilen makaleler R tabanlı Biblioshiny programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Görselleştirmeler için Tableau programı kullanıldı.
İncelenen nitel çalışmaların özellikle 2007 yılından itibaren artış eğilimi gösterdiği görülmektedir. Yıllık ortalama atıf sayısına göre en çok atıf alan yazar Willis-Shattuck (2008), en az atıf alan yazar ise Kristensen (2008) olmuştur. Makalelerde en sık kullanılan anahtar kelimeler “niteliksel araştırma” ve “sağlık yönetimi” oldu.
Verilerimiz sağlıkta nitel çalışmaların özellikle 2007 sonrasında artış eğiliminde olduğunu göstermektedir. Buna göre birincil verilerin niteliksel çalışma yöntemleriyle toplanmasının teşvik edilmesi nedeniyle bazı sağlık hizmetlerinde var olan sorunların çözülebileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu nedenle sağlık hizmetlerinin yönetiminde yaşanan sorunların çözümüne yönelik güçlü kanıtlar sunacak niteliksel çalışmaların arttırılması gerektiğini düşünüyoruz.
Ethical Statement
Bu makale ikincil verilerden hazırlandığından etik kurul onayı gerektirmeyen bir çalışmadır.
