Quality health care is an issue of concern worldwide, and nursing can and must play a major and global role in transforming the healthcare environment. Doctorally prepared nurses are very much needed in the discipline to further develop and expand the science, as well as to prepare its future educators, scholars, leaders, and policy makers. In 1968, the Master of Science in Nursing Program was initiated in Turkey, followed by the Nursing Doctoral Education Program in 1972. Six University Schools of Nursing provide nursing doctoral education. By the graduating year of 2001, 154 students had graduated with the Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing (Ph.D.), and 206 students were enrolled in related courses. Many countries in the world are systematically building various collaborative models in their nursing doctoral education programs. Turkey would like to play an active role in creating collaborative nursing doctoral education programs with other countries. This paper centres on the structure and model of doctoral education for nurses in Turkey. It touches on doctoral programs around the world; describes in detail nursing doctoral education in Turkey, including its program structure, admission process, course units, assessment strategies and dissertation procedure; and discusses efforts to promote Turkey as a potential partner in international initiatives to improve nursing doctoral education.
优质医疗保健是全球关注的问题，护理能够且必须在改变医疗环境方面发挥重要的全球作用。该学科非常需要具有博士学位的护士，以进一步发展和拓展这门科学，并培养未来的教育工作者、学者、领导者和政策制定者。1968年，土耳其启动了护理学硕士项目，1972年又启动了护理博士教育项目。六所大学护理学院提供护理博士教育。到2001年毕业时，已有154名学生获得护理学博士学位（Ph.D.），206名学生注册了相关课程。世界上许多国家正在其护理博士教育项目中系统地建立各种合作模式。土耳其希望在与其他国家创建合作性护理博士教育项目方面发挥积极作用。本文围绕土耳其护士博士教育的结构和模式展开。它涉及世界各地的博士项目；详细描述了土耳其的护理博士教育，包括其项目结构、录取过程、课程单元、评估策略和论文程序；并讨论了为推动土耳其成为改善护理博士教育国际倡议中的潜在合作伙伴所做的努力。
