Objective: Meta-analysis studies offer significant results for evidence-based nursing practices. Therefore, it is crucial to have a comprehensive understanding about the trends and dynamics in current meta-analysis studies. This study aimed to determine the current knowledge structure of meta-analysis studies in nursing with bibliometric analysis. Material and Methods: This study was designed as a descriptive bibliometric study. The study data were obtained from the Web of Science database. 942 meta-analysis studies were included in the study. The data analysis was conducted with Excel, SPSS and VOSviewer. Results: It was found that meta-analysis studies were published in 99 different journals published between 1988-2021 and 78.14% of these studies received citations. It was determined that 64.33% of the studies were published in the last 5 years (2017-2021). The meta-analysis studies were produced by 3,548 different authors and produced in 1,169 different institutions. The most common subcategory of meta-analysis studies was oncology. Journal of Advanced Nursing was the most productive journal with 112 publications and China produced the greatest number of publications. The most frequently used keywords were ''meta analysis'', ''systematic review'', ''nursing'', ''quality of life'', ''review'', ''depression'', ''anxiety'', ''exercise'', ''nurse'' and ''cancer.'' Recent meta-analysis studies also dealt with ageing and delirium. Conclusion: Meta-analysis studies have become growingly popular with regard to the number of publications in recent years. There is a need to increase the evidence especially in the field of nursing education and management. Meta-analysis studies mostly focused on reducing the problems of patients with chronic problems and increasing their quality of life.

Amaç: Metaanaliz çalışmaları, kanıta dayalı hemşirelik uygulamaları için önemli sonuçlar sunmaktadır. Bu nedenle mevcut metaanaliz çalışmalarında, trendler ve dinamikler hakkında kapsamlı bir bakış açısına sahip olmak çok önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, hemşirelikte metaanaliz çalışmalarının güncel bilgi yapısını bibliyometrik analizle ortaya koymaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma, tanımlayıcı bir bibliyometrik çalışma olarak tasarlandı. Çalışma verileri Web of Science veri tabanından elde edildi. Çalışmaya, 942 metaanaliz çalışması dâhil edildi. Veri analizi Excel, SPSS ve VOSviewer ile yapıldı. Bulgular: Metaanaliz çalışmalarının, 1988-2021 yılları arasında 99 farklı dergide yayımlandığı ve bu çalışmaların %78,14'ünün atıf aldığı saptandı. Çalışmaların %64,33'ünün son 5 yıl içinde (2017-2021) yayımlandığı tespit edildi. Metaanaliz çalışmaları, 3.548 farklı yazar tarafından ve 1.169 farklı kurumda üretilmiştir. Metaanaliz çalışmalarının en yaygın alt kategorisi onkoloji idi. Journal of Advanced Nursing, 112 yayın ile en üretken dergi olup; Çin, en fazla yayın üreten ülke idi. En sık kullanılan anahtar kelimeler ''metaanaliz'', ''sistematik derleme'', ''hemşirelik'',''yaşam kalitesi'', ''derleme'', ''depresyon'', ''kaygı'', ''egzersiz'', ''hemşire'' ve ''kanser'' idi. Yakın zamanda yapılan metaanaliz çalışmaları da yaşlanma ve deliryum ile ilgiliydi. Sonuç: Metaanaliz çalışmaları, son yıllarda yayın sayısı açısından giderek daha popüler hâle gelmiştir. Özellikle hemşirelik eğitimi ve yönetimi alanında kanıtların artırılmasına ihtiyaç vardır. Metaanaliz çalışmaları, daha çok kronik sorunları olan hastaların sorunlarını azaltmaya ve yaşam kalitelerini artırmaya odaklanmıştır.
