Nursing science carried out directly amongst and with people: this is what the Opinion Lab stands for – an FWF-funded project run by the Institute of Nursing and Health Sciences at the Medical University of Graz. Together with the residents of the Caritas St Peter Care Home, the Opinion Lab team has developed a toolkit focused on non-pharmacological pain management.

Jonathan Scheucher took a look at the project as part of the Ö1 series “Moment”. You can listen to the programme here (in German):
