Research in Palliative Care - RIPE

The research group RIPE conducts research studies in palliative care. The studies cover care from the early phase of palliative care and during the last period of life, dying, and death regardless of context, illness, or how and when death has occurred. RIPE cross several contexts of care, such as municipal health care, emergency care, and other specialist care. Our mission is palliative care based on the needs of the individual, their relatives, and care staff. The goal is relation-centered care provided by an interprofessional team with high competence and professionalism, regardless of the context of care. The studies use both a quantitative and a qualitative approach and include a breadth of studies, such as exploratory studies, register studies, and intervention studies. Our studies also include theory generation and development. The researchers possess a range of competencies in palliative care, ambulance, emergency medical care, care of the elderly, and care of children and young people, as well as competence in the field of functional impairment.
