    Bibliometric Analysis of Spiritual Healing Themed Articles in Nursing Research Area
    (Galenos Publ House, 2025) Akyuez, Hatice Onturk; Aslan, Hakime; Gulsoy, Hatice; Guzeltas, Gokhan
    BACKGROUND/AIMS: This bibliometric analysis aims to highlight important trends, research questions and contributions to better understand the academic literature on spiritual healing. Recognized as an important part of holistic nursing care, spiritual healing includes methods of treating spiritual dimensions of health and well-being and is now generally recognized. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted to identify articles focussing on spiritual healing in the field of nursing. This search covered publications up to April 2024, and the Web of Science Core Collection database was used. A dataset of 878 articles was obtained as a result of the keyword search. Bibliometric analyses were performed with VosViewer software. Parameters such as number of publications, most productive countries/institutions, most cited articles, and top themes were analysed. RESULTS: This study revealed that spiritual topics have increased significantly in the nursing literature since 2016. The geographical distribution analysis showed that the United States of America (USA) led the way in this field, with countries such as Iran, the United Kingdom and Brazil also making significant contributions. Loma Linda University and the University of S & atilde;o Paulo stood out among the institutions with the most publications. Keyword analysis highlighted the importance of topics such as spirituality, nursing, patients, and palliative care. Findings revealed a growing acceptance of spiritual healing in nursing practice, global collaboration, and research diversity. CONCLUSION: The study highlights a global increase in nursing research on spiritual healing since 2016, with the USA leading the way.

    Effects of neuromuscular exercise and dance therapy on physical performance and kinesiophobia in GERIATRICS: A randomized controlled study
    (Elsevier, 2025) Cetinkaya, Ozum; Nalbant, Ozgur; Odemis, Meric; Gulsoy, Hatice
    Background Neuromuscular exercise is a comprehensive training approach encompassing functional movements, proprioceptive training, and perturbation exercises aimed at enhancing balance, muscle activation, and joint stability. Dance therapy, defined as the intentional and rhythmic movement of the body to music, serves as a physical and mental modality for promoting well-being. Objective This study aimed to compare the effects of a physiotherapy-based neuromuscular exercise program and dance therapy on physical performance and kinesiophobia in geriatrics. Methods Fifty-two participants were randomly assigned to either a neuromuscular exercise group (NE; n = 25) or a dance therapy group (DT; n = 27). Both interventions lasted 12 weeks. Assessments included the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) for functional balance, the Tinetti Balance and Gait Assessment (TBG) for balance and gait, the 30-Second Sit-to-Stand Test (30SSTS) for lower extremity strength and function, the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) for fear of falling, Manual Muscle Testing for muscle strength, goniometric measurements for range of motion (ROM), and the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK). Results Functional balance improved significantly only in the DT group. (BBS, p < 0.05). Both groups showed significant within-group improvements in balance (TBG), lower limb function (30SSTS), and proximal muscle strength (MMT) (p < 0.05). Between-group analysis showed significantly higher baseline 30SSTS scores in the NE group (p < 0.05), and no significant differences were observed in fear of falling, ROM, or kinesiophobia. Conclusion Neuromuscular exercise and dance therapy are both safe and effective interventions for improving balance, lower extremity function and proximal muscle strength in geriatrics. Their incorporation into rehabilitation programs may support active aging. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT06395779.
