EANS Summer Conference 2023

Lovisenberg Diaconal University College, Oslo, Norway on July 5^th to July 6^th

Call for abstracts

This year the EANS summer conference will take place at Lovisenberg Diaconal University College in Oslo between the 5^th – 6^th July. The conference theme will focus on Continuity and Quality of Fundamental Nursing Care for Older People in Long Term Care. Therefore, the scientific committee is now looking forward to receiving abstract for oral or poster presentations on research particularly focusing on the conference theme.

This topic is deemed particularly important, as today more older people than before receive long-term care in the community, while regularly being portrayed as having comprehensive health care needs. The latter refers mainly to the physical, social, and psychosocial care needs of older people, often described in nursing research as representing basic, essential, or fundamental nursing care. However, research implies that in some cases older people’s care needs are particularly poorly met in this context. Thus, reflecting fragmented nursing care lacking continuity. Studies also indicate that long-term care services experience limitations related to time spent with patients, the number of health care staff with adequate competence, lack of collaboration with other professions, high rates of sick leave, part-time workers, and issues with nurse retention. Therefore, research into nursing supporting us with more in-depth knowledge within this area is warranted.

We are very pleased to announce that registration as a participant is still possible until May 25th. 

However, the abstract submission deadline for EANS Summer Conference 2023 has expired. We will confirm to presenters the selected abstracts by 19 May 2023.
