معرفی
Muhammed DENİZ serves as a Researcher at Kafkas University's Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing since 2018, specializing in surgical nursing with expertise in wound healing and disaster response. His academic foundation spans nursing, theology, and emergency management disciplines.
His educational journey includes:
- PhD in Nursing, Kafkas University (2019)
- MSc in Nursing, Erciyes University (2016-2019)
- BSc in Nursing, Erciyes University (2011-2016)
- BSc in Emergency Aid and Disaster Management, Istanbul University (2023)
- Associate Degree in Property Protection and Security, Atatürk University (2021-2022)
- Associate Degree in Theology, Anadolu University (2019)
DENİZ's research integrates clinical nursing with psychological and innovative therapeutic approaches. His primary focus examines diabetic wound healing mechanisms, mental health interventions during pandemics and disasters, and art-based therapies for stress reduction. Recent work demonstrates consistent innovation in applying hydrogen-enriched water for tissue regeneration and utilizing traditional art forms like ebru to alleviate patient anxiety. His methodology frequently employs randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews to validate therapeutic approaches in surgical and disaster contexts.
Analysis of his 2021-2025 publications reveals three dominant research trajectories: (1) physiological wound healing mechanisms in diabetic models, (2) pandemic-related mental health challenges among healthcare providers and patients, and (3) disaster psychology interventions using art therapy. These intersect with UN Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good Health) and 11 (Resilient Communities).
His recognition includes:
- Ondokuz Mayıs University Award (2022) for pandemic nursing research
As principal investigator and collaborator on four major projects, DENİZ has secured TÜBİTAK and university funding for studies on earthquake-affected nursing students' psychological recovery, ebru art applications in colonoscopy preparation, and hydrogen therapy for diabetic wounds. While not currently supervising graduate students, he maintains active research partnerships with 19 colleagues across Turkish institutions, particularly with Yeliz Akkuş and Mustafa Makav at Kafkas University. His professional engagement extends to AFAD (Disaster Management) and the Turkish Surgical Association, where he contributes to national disaster response protocols and surgical nursing standards.
