Health Research and Development

Five health care research units

Five profession-specific research units are together under one roof and make an important contribution to quality assurance and the further development of health care.

Occupational Therapy Research Unit

The research and development in this unit aims to ensure the quality of occupational therapy services for individuals and groups in the context of the provision of health care. We deal with research questions from health care practice and answer them in close cooperation with interdisciplinary partners. The results flow back into practice through publications as well as our degree and continuing education programmes.

Midwifery Research Unit

The focus is on providing the best possible care for women, children, and families during pregnancy and birth, in the postpartum period and while breastfeeding.

To this end, it conducts institutional, national, and international research projects in close cooperation with partners from research and clinical practice.
