Research

Our vision is to promote, create, translate, and implement innovative research of high quality which can make a difference for children and young people with various conditions.
Projects

Stress research

The aim with this research is to increase knowledge about children’s stress. A special focus is on development of the stress system in preterm infants and interventions to mitigate stress and stress related consequences.

The EACI Study

The overall aim with this project is to improve parent-infant interaction during admission to the neonatal intensive care unit, thus increase possibilities for stress resilience and a secure attachment.

Bonding in Neonatal care

This study focus on social-emotional parent-infant bonding and how bonding develops during the neonatal intensive care trajectory.

Sleep when the child is sick

Parental sleep when their child is sick is an individualised experience influenced by several factors. In this project we aim to study, prevent, and improve parents sleep when their child is sick.

Children with functional constipation

The objective of this project is to increase the knowledge about children with functional constipation and further use the new knowledge to improve care and quality of life.

Nursing research priorities for child- and family centred care

The aim with this study is to develop a top-ten nursing research priority list reflecting youth, parents and healthcare professionals’ desires and priorities.

The Australian Hospital Patient Experience Question Set (AHPEQS)

In this study the Australian Hospital Patient Experience Question Sets (AHPEQS) for children and parents are translated into Swedish, scientifically tested and implemented in two children’s hospitals to evaluate experiences of hospital care.

Needs of children’s questionnaire

The aim with this project is to translate, test and implement the Needs of Children’s questionnaire (NCQ) to discuss, evaluate and improve individualised hospital care with and for admitted children aged 5-18 years.
