Introduction
Nursing and health-professions research encompasses clinical care, disease prevention, health education, professional wellbeing and population health. OZCELIK’s documented publications reflect these interconnected areas. Her studies consider both individual-level health behaviours and institutional healthcare environments, while the bibliometric study examines the development of a specific body of nursing literature over several decades. This combination provides a research profile spanning empirical health studies and evidence-mapping approaches. [1]
Research Profile
The supplied profile records nine documents, 66 citations and an h-index of 5. The recent publication record shows a multidisciplinary orientation within nursing and health professions, with research questions involving healthcare workers, women at elevated breast-cancer risk, hospital employees and children with disabilities. The work also incorporates quantitative approaches, including cross-sectional research and multivariable predictor analysis.
- Nursing research and bibliometric analysis.
- Healthcare-worker knowledge, attitudes and wellbeing.
- Cancer prevention, screening and health behaviour.
- Public-health responses to infectious disease and COVID-19.
Research Contributions
OZCELIK’s recent work contributes to several applied healthcare research areas. The bibliometric study maps research trends and emerging topics concerning children with disabilities, providing an overview of the development of nursing literature from 1977 to 2026. [1] Another study examines healthcare workers’ awareness of hepatitis A infection and their knowledge and attitudes toward vaccination using multivariable analysis. [2] Her other studies address perceived stress during the COVID-19 pandemic, breast-cancer risk-reduction programmes, and COVID-19-related concerns among hospital employees. [3] [4]

Research Impact
The supplied bibliometric indicators report 66 citations across nine documents and an h-index of 5. These figures provide quantitative information about the recorded publication and citation history but should be interpreted in relation to database coverage, publication age and disciplinary citation patterns. The individual studies also address practical healthcare questions involving vaccination, prevention, occupational conditions and health behaviour. The use of DOI identifiers for the listed publications facilitates persistent identification and scholarly access.
Award Suitability
The documented research record corresponds directly with the Nursing and Health Professions subject area and includes peer-reviewed work addressing contemporary healthcare challenges. The International Academic Excellence Awards provides an academic recognition framework covering researchers across subject areas. [6] OZCELIK’s publication portfolio, research metrics and ORCID-linked scholarly identity provide documented elements relevant to an academic recognition profile. Final consideration remains subject to the award’s applicable nomination and evaluation procedures.
Conclusion
Habibe OZCELIK’s documented research profile encompasses nursing research, healthcare-worker studies, cancer prevention, occupational wellbeing and infectious-disease-related health research. Five recent publications illustrate the breadth of these interests, while the supplied metrics record nine documents, 66 citations and an h-index of 5. The combination of empirical healthcare studies and bibliometric research represents a coherent academic portfolio within Nursing and Health Professions.
