Nursing research and professional development

The research group’s members are primarily employed at Molde University College. Employees in municipal health services or health enterprises may participate in certain collaborative projects. Central to the group’s work is to focus on research and development within clinical nursing.

Third-year nursing students simulate various cases using the SimMan3G simulator doll, while the research group observes and discusses.

Objectives

  • Initiate and stimulate practice-oriented research within nursing.
  • Establish research networks with local, national, or international professional communities.

  • Members exchange constructive feedback on article drafts and other written work.
  • Information from meetings in the research forum.

Research Approaches

In research and development work, research approaches are chosen based on their suitability for answering specific research questions in each project. The choice of method depends on the research questions.

Activities

  • Two research group meetings in the fall semester and two to three meetings in the spring semester.
  • Time is allocated for collaboration on projects, co-writing, and lectures.
