The SHARE research projects address a wide range of topics and challenges facing healthcare systems and professionals across diverse contexts. Here, you can read more about some of SHARE's major research projects, along with their activities and publications from 2024.
Support4Resilience
European elderly care experiences labor shortages, lack of qualified workers and a mismatch between capacity and demands, causing stress, burnout, and reduced mental wellbeing among healthcare workers and informal caregivers. Leaders are crucial in promoting supportive working conditions but lack research-based measures to act upon these challenges.
Support4Resilience (S4R) will develop, implement, and evaluate a research-based Toolbox to support healthcare leaders in improving healthcare workers’ and informal caregivers’ resilience and mental wellbeing in elderly care.
Tools4Teams
Tools4Teams MARIE SKŁODOWSKA-CURIE ACTIONS Doctoral Network aims to contribute to safer and more effective care by studying the innovative tools that teams need to perform optimally in complex healthcare situations both in centralized acute care settings and in decentralized chronic care settings. Tools4Teams will bring together expertise from social and technical sciences, human-centred design, education, and clinical specialties alongside non-academic partners.
Resilience in Healthcare
Resilience in healthcare is the diverse capacities of a healthcare system that allow it to maintain the delivery of high-quality care during and after events that challenge, change or disrupt its activities, by engaging people in collaborative and coordinated processes that adapt, enhance or reorganize system functioning in response to those events.
In short, the Resilience in Healthcare project has defined resilience as the capacity to adapt to challenges and changes in everyday practices at different system levels, to maintain high quality care.
InvolveMENT - Improving mental health services with and for indigenous and ethnic minority youth
The InvolveMENT collaborative research project aims to improve the mental health of youth with national minority, indigenous and refugee backgrounds by meeting their information and personalised mental health needs, using public eHealth services. Existing services have not been adapted to meet the needs of minority youth and no research evidence exists to determine service acceptability, effectiveness, cost-effectiveness or safety of such services in Norway. The InvolveMENT research project will apply a co-design process involving youth with national minority, indigenous and refugee backgrounds and multiple stakeholder organisations to develop proposals for adapted, culturally sensitive, equitable and sustainable healthcare services.
NORHED II - Implementing simulation-based education in Malawi og Tanzania
The aim of the NORHED II project is to implement simulation-based education to strengthen the capacity and quality of nursing and midwifery education in Malawi and Tanzania. This will be accomplished by improving competencies and implement simulation-based education in study programs and produce research. The project is built on South-South-North partnerships and contributes to share knowledge and capacity building in simulation-based education.
