Connecting the dots

Our research bridges clinical practice and science to make person-centred care sustainable for the future.

Our research

  • At HES-SO Fribourg, we look into how person-centred care can ensure and improve the quality of life of people with care needs as well as the well-being of their family members and care teams.

Research priorities:

  • Transitions in dementia care

    How can people with dementia and their family members be supported appropriately during times of change or transition?

  • End-of Life Care

    How can we support during the end of life to preserve dignity and reflect individual needs and preferences?

  • Supporting Family Members

    How can we best involve and support family members?

  • Person-centred Practice

    How do we deliver care that is truly guided by each person's wishes and needs?

  • Advanced Practice Nursing (APN)

    How can advanced nursing roles contribute to improving care delivery and outcomes?

  • Quality Care in Long-term Care Facilities

    How can care in institutional settings be further developed through structural improvements and targeted education?
