Goals and Tasks

The DIP is set to plan, carry out, accompany and evaluate practicable research and development projects in the field of nursing and make its results available to the public. It focuses on the investigation of issues and problems in practical nursing and nursing education as well as in nursing management.

 

Nursing and Health Care Institutions, universities, associations, Public Health and Nursing Care Insurance Companies, politicians, Public Health employees and - last but not least - the patients, their families and relatives will benefit from the DIP’s research and development studies. Furthermore, the DIP will support nursing researchers from the next generation and contribute to a better theory practice transfer.
