Abstract
The study was conducted between 1-31 July 2024 using descriptive survey and document analysis methods. Using the search option in the database of the National Thesis Centre of the Presidency of the Council of Higher Education, ‘children intensive care’ and Theses with the keyword ‘paediatric intensive care’ were searched. As a result of the screening, a total of 57 postgraduate theses were reached, and 53 theses were included in the examination, as 4 postgraduate theses were found to be common in the examination. A total of 8 master's theses that met the inclusion criteria were examined. The theses examined in the study were analysed in terms of variables such as measurement tools, field of care, title of thesis advisor and distribution of theses according to years. The analysis of the data was done with numbers and percentages using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) 25 package programme and Microsoft Office 2016 programme. As a result of the examination, it was determined that hygiene 37.5% (n=3), respiration 50% (n=4), nutrition 12.5% (n=1) according to the care areas of the theses. It was observed that the postgraduate nursing theses in the field of paediatric intensive care in Turkey were mostly effective in achieving their aims and their findings were compatible with the international literature. It is thought that the number of postgraduate nursing theses on the subject is not sufficient, and increasing the number of theses will shed light on other studies and researchers.
