Nursing means helping and supporting a person and their family in their daily life with a focus on health. It is an independent field of knowledge for which the nurse is responsible. Working with health involves preventing and improving health, as well as restoring and maintaining it.
The central concepts of nursing science are people, health, environment and nursing actions. The scientific subject of nursing aims to make care better, safer and more equitable for both individual patients and groups of patients as well as for their relatives.
Through international research collaboration in nursing, the subject contributes to building knowledge about factors contributing to positive global health development. Nursing research plays a significant role in developing knowledge about the very best care for all people regardless of ethnicity, class, age, gender and religion. In a globalized world, nurses increasingly encounter people with different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds who need care and nursing, which also leads to an increased need for research-based knowledge. Our research particularly wants to contribute to the development of knowledge in the area of care and health in rural areas, as this is where we are located and have our starting point.
All projects funded by the Department of Health Sciences, the subject of nursing, must have clear relevance and connection to Nursing and health in rural areas, be relevant for education in the nursing subject and connect to Mid Sweden University's overall strategy. Research projects planned in nursing must be presented and discussed with the research board before the project starts. The projects must be part of the strategy's main orientations, which are:
