Professor Tanriverdi's research spans critical areas in psychiatric nursing and mental health, with primary focus on depression, suicide risk assessment, post-traumatic growth phenomena, and metacognitive approaches in psychiatric care. Her work extensively examines how psychological resilience, mindfulness, and emotion regulation impact mental health outcomes across diverse patient populations.
