Research into nursing

Steno Diabetes Center is in the process of building up a research tradition within the area of nursing. The responsibility for this lies with the head nurse. A research committee consisting of the head nurse, two heads of departments and two representatives of the nursing group has been set up to initiate nursing-related research and development projects in Steno Diabetes Center. Nurses can present project descriptions for the committee’s approval.

The vision: to create a research tradition within nursing at Steno Diabetes Center.
The purpose: to contribute knowledge that can improve the overall level of public health, improve the quality of nursing and accommodate both the individual’s and society’s demands and expectations of good nursing and care.

The research course at UCSF
Steno Diabetes Center has been an associated member of UCSF (the university hospitals’ centre for nursing and care research) since 2000. Each year, two nurses have the opportunity of participating in the centre’s one-year research course, in addition to the other courses offered in research and research guidance.
