Seda Tuğba Baykara Mat serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Nursing at Beykent University's School of Health Sciences, holding continuous faculty appointments since 2020 (Research Assistant 2020, Doctor Lecturer 2021-present). She concurrently fulfills administrative roles including Board Membership (2024) and Disabled Unit Manager (2020, 2023) at Istanbul Beykent University, demonstrating integrated academic-leadership engagement.
Her educational foundation comprises a Doctorate (2020) from Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Institute of Graduate Education focusing on healthcare waste management; dual graduate degrees from Istanbul University Institute of Health Sciences (2014, 2016) examining nursing image perception; and a Bachelor's from Bulent Ecevit University Zonguldak Health School (2007-2011).
Dr. Baykara Mat's research pioneers the convergence of nursing with climate change adaptation, evidenced by her 2024 book Climate Change, Health and Nursing and multiple articles analyzing eco-anxiety in nursing students. Her work extends to compassion fatigue dynamics, healthcare waste innovation (stemming from her doctoral thesis), and nursing management systems, reflecting a systems-oriented approach to contemporary healthcare challenges. This interdisciplinary focus manifests in co-authored textbooks including Strategic Management in Healthcare Institutions (2025) and Human Resources Management in Nursing (2025).
Analysis of her 2020-2024 publications reveals intensifying focus on climate-health intersections (60% of recent output), predominantly employing cross-sectional and qualitative methodologies centered on Turkish nursing cohorts. Key thematic clusters include psychological impacts of ecological crises (eco-anxiety, worry-hope dynamics), sustainable practice implementation barriers, and organizational behavior in nursing contexts - indicating strategic alignment with global sustainability imperatives.
She actively mentors graduate researchers, supervising three 2024 Master's theses examining compassion fatigue-care behavior relationships, workload-medical malpractice links, and organizational commitment dynamics. Her prior clinical experience as Ministry of Health nurse (2012-2015) and Memorial Hospitals Group practitioner (2011-2012) informs her practice-grounded scholarship, while her OrcID (0000-0002-3253-0597) verifies ongoing scholarly activity.
