Healthcare investigation has its own space as a multidisciplinary research group composed of nurses, midwives, and physiotherapists. The current new strategic lines of the group whose interest is focused on researching the elderly, children and adolescents and their families, encompass 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 their caregivers. Our research has had results in clinical practice. We have several research projects funded by national research grants: to assess efficacy of an intensive pre-surgical intervention to quit smoking in smoking surgical patients; to develop the expert patient program and assess the impact on the quality of life, and self-management of multiple sclerosis patient and the study to explore the association between pediatrics nursing-sensitive outcomes and nurse staffing levels.
