| Description | This line of research strengthens and innovates nursing practice by providing a solid scientific foundation. It encompasses the full breadth of the nursing profession and is firmly rooted in daily clinical practice. Central to our work are the clinical uncertainties that arise in real-world care settings. We conduct quantitative, qualitative, and implementation research, and collaborate closely with leading national and international nursing research groups to ensure our results truly impact patient care and professional practice. |
