Objective: This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of nursing studies related to knee and hip replacements published in the Web of Science (WOS) database since 2015. Material and Methods: The retrospective descriptive study was conducted in June 2024 in a computerized environment. A search of the WOS Core Collection was conducted using the keywords ''arthroplasty'', ''knee replacement'', and ''hip replacement''. The RStudio Biblioshiny package was utilized for the bibliometric analysis of the data obtained from 364 articles that met the inclusion criteria. Results: The analysis revealed that the annual growth rate of publications was -5.09% across 73 different sources between 2015 and 2024. The most frequently used keywords were ''arthroplasty'' (7%, n=70), ''replacement'' (6%, n=63), and ''surgery'' (5%, n=52). ''Orthopaedic Nursing'' was identified as the most common journal for related publications. In terms of author distribution by country, Türkiye ranked 6th, with no evidence of co-publication with other countries. An analysis of the countries of the authors responsible for the publications evaluated revealed that there were 37 different countries, with the USA in first place with 117 publications. Conclusion: Nursing research on knee and hip replacement focuses on specific areas such as prosthesis, surgery, pain and care. Although there has not been a significant annual increase in the volume of nursing research on knee and hip replacement over the last decade, it has been noted that there is still active research in this area.

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, 2015 yılından itibaren Web of Science (WOS) veri tabanında yayınlanan diz ve kalça protezi ile ilgili hemşirelik çalışmalarının bibliyometrik analizinin yapılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Retrospektif tanımlayıcı tipte olan çalışma Haziran 2024'te bilgisayar ortamında gerçekleştirilmiştir. WOS Core Koleksiyonunda ''artroplasti'', ''diz protezi'' ve ''kalça protezi'' anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak bir arama yapıldı. Dâhil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan 364 makaleden elde edilen verilerin bibliyometrik analizi için RStudio Biblioshiny paketi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Analiz, 2015- 2024 yılları arasında 73 farklı kaynakta yayınların yıllık büyüme oranının -%5,09 olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. En sık kullanılan anahtar kelimeler ''artroplasti'' (%7, n=70), ''replasman'' (%6, n=63) ve ''cerrahi'' (%5, n=52) olmuştur. ''Ortopedik Hemşirelik'' ilgili yayınlar için en yaygın dergi olarak belirlenmiştir. Yazarların ülkelere göre dağılımında Türkiye altıncı sırada yer alırken, diğer ülkelerle ortak yayın yapıldığına dair bir kanıt bulunmamıştır. Değerlendirilen yayınlardan sorumlu yazarların ülkeleri incelendiğinde, 37 farklı ülke olduğu ve ABD'nin 117 yayınla ilk sırada yer aldığı görülmüştür. Sonuç: Diz ve kalça protezi ile ilgili hemşirelik araştırmaları protez, cerrahi, ağrı ve bakım gibi spesifik alanlara odaklanmaktadır. Son 10 yılda diz ve kalça protezi üzerine yapılan hemşirelik araştırmalarının hacminde yıllık olarak önemli bir artış olmamasına rağmen, bu alanda hala aktif bir araştırma olduğu kaydedilmiştir.
