The Multidisciplinary Nursing Research Group develops its research with the commitment to solve and prevent people's health problems. It is a team made up of nurses, midwives, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nutritionists and social workers, whose objective is to generate knowledge in the specific area of nursing activity and other health professionals. With special interest in populations of extreme age, critical, chronic and complex chronic patients. The main lines of research are focused on the ethical and social aspects of care, innovative technologies in health, innovative technologies in therapeutic applications and health promotion for the autonomy of patients and families.
In its first 8 years of activity, the group has published 70 international papers, achieved 8 competitive findings, finalized PhD thesis and validated and implemented different innovative care models.

The Neonatology Service aims to demonstrate that the individual family room for newborns is more beneficial than the shared box room.
The awarded study is titled “Perceptions and experiences of parents of premature newborns with an umbilical venous catheter who perform skin-to-skin contact,” and the granted scholarship will allow for its dissemination.
A clinical trial with the prototype of the device shows that the use of this technology improves patient monitoring by nurses and reduces post-surgical complications.
