The research group Care and Support focuses on strengthening and maintaining quality of life in long-term care and support needs. Through research, we try to find solutions to problems that care and welfare professionals may experience in connecting to the needs of care recipients and their relatives. The research into this is done at the request of professional practice and in close cooperation with the professionals who will apply the interventions in practice. Representatives of target groups (e.g. elderly people, people with a mental or physical disability or disorder) and their relatives, students and teachers are also involved in our research.
