Doctoral studentWorking title / Brief descriptionsupervised by:
Anja HerzogHospices are independent institutions with a caring mission and a family-like character, whose admission is certified by medical indications. Hospices are also educational centres. The research focuses, for example, on dying people (perspective holders) who invite others to an exchange of experiences about dying, death, loss and mourning, as well as on carers, families and friends who reflect on and shape their feelings and current (framework) conditions in a hospice.

The aim of the doctoral thesis 'Dying people in a dialogue-based exchange of experiences in a hospice' is to collect the experiences of the learners (survivors) and make them available for training programmes in the health care system.

Erik HalmIn Germany, osteoarthritis of the hip joint is still frequently treated with joint replacement compared to other countries.

Education (information, counselling, training and instruction) is an important part of patient care in physiotherapy. However, little research has been conducted into how this is carried out in practice and whether it can sometimes prevent operations.
