ANDRÉ NOVO / REHABILITATION NURSING
From scientific evidence to the human meaning of rehabilitation.
I investigate physical exercise as a therapeutic intervention and seek to understand how it contributes to functional capacity, autonomy and people’s lived experiences across clinical settings.

A research agenda with two complementary dimensions
What effects does a rehabilitation intervention produce? And what do those effects mean in a person’s life? My work seeks to connect rigorous clinical outcome assessment with an understanding of its human significance.
01
Physical exercise and functioning
Exercise prescription, intervention assessment and clinically meaningful outcomes.
02
Chronic kidney disease
Rehabilitation, haemodialysis, inspiratory muscle training and functional capacity.
03
Recognition and living well
Qualitative inquiry and conceptual reflection on people and the experience of rehabilitation.
Featured project / RespDialysis
Intradialytic inspiratory muscle training in people receiving haemodialysis. Funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, this clinical research project connects respiratory and functional outcome assessment with the lived experience of the intervention.
