Clinical Nursing Home Research

Clinical nursing home research is one of the priority programmes for research at the Faculty of Nursing at Sør-Trøndelag University College. Professional competence is important in the delivery of nursing care towards the elderly in nursing homes and top competence in many fields is needed. There is therefore a call for multidisciplinary clinical research and knowledge development. Clinical research will be used to identify the best evidence for care and treatment in some of the defined domains.
