The overall goal of this research environment is to develop and implement interventions for the purpose of promoting healthcare with a relation-centred approach, where dignity and participation are promoted, regardless of the caring context and patient group.
Developing sustainable relation-centred healthcare also requires a culture where professional development and learning, across and within professions, are at the core.
Research projects and training/teaching within the centre of competence focus on:
- The relationship between the caregiver and patient/family members
- The relationship between the professions in the healthcare team
- The caregiver’s proficiency and professional approach
The research environment has significant national and international collaboration and includes researchers within nursing, medicine, teaching and learning, sociology, psychology and ethics. Within the environment, there are specific competencies and experience of the development, implementation and evaluation of complex interventions in healthcare. Research studies are conducted in close cooperation with both regional and municipal healthcare providers, often including a patient and a family member perspective. In studies involving healthcare innovations based on information and communication technology, collaboration exists with business and industry.
