Abstract

This article presents the structure and research lines of the “Chronicity, Dependence, Health Care and Services” Consolidated Group, belonging to the Institute for Biomedical Research of Málaga (IBIMA) and the Andalusian Plan for Research, Development and Innovation (PAIDI). Its lines of research are focused on chronicity from different points of view: evaluation and development of new services for chronicity and dependence, and the study of factors determining the clinical safety for this population group, impact on the health of the family caregiver, and the development of tools for an improvement in healthcare for persons with chronic conditions and their family caregivers. The group is currently formed by 24 members; their mean age is 42.9 years (SD 9.1); 70.8% of them are women, and 91.7% have a doctorate. The distribution by types of institution is the following: researchers attached to the university (n= 8; 33.3%), Primary Care (n= 5; 20.8%), and Hospital Care (n= 11; 45.8%). There is a multidisciplinary structure, integrating areas of knowledge such as Nursing, Physical Therapy, Podiatry, Medicine, Anthropology, Sociology, and Biology. Since 2008, the group has obtained the total sum of 978,931€ in funding for competitive projects, including deepening for research activity and structural aids for groups. In total, there have been 547 publications by the group, with 61 articles in the past two years, and with an accumulated impact factor of 158.79; 41% of these belong to the first quartile and 23% to the first decile.
