The id.Care project developed research initiation programs aimed at students in the Nursing

Degree Program (NDP) in their final year of study between 2022 and 2024 (22-40 hours).

These programs involve training in secondary research methodologies and the facilitation

of the Ideas Lab (Id(eas).Lab), utilizing design thinking to enhance the development of the

monographic work. The initiative includes collaboration with a higher education institution

in computer engineering, where their graduating students and NDP students co-create

innovative solutions for identified problems explored through systematic literature reviews.

The experience is evaluated through focus groups. The Ethics Committee has approved the

study (ref.nr. 2959/2023). Successful completion of these programs is recorded as a diploma

ideas are currently in the prototyping phase. Students perceive this experience as fostering

the development of skills in translating scientific knowledge.

Conclusion

Participation in the research initiation programs of the id.Care project facilitated skill

development among NDP students.
