Associate Professor, Docent

Most people take it for granted that physical and mental wellbeing affect each other. But the current healthcare system is not always very good at addressing the psychological problems of people who also have one or more physical conditions.

Management of mental health challenges in connection with long-term physical illness by use of e-health

In my research, I study how different types of e-health tools, especially specially designed internet-based platforms, can be designed and used to provide good care to people living with some form of long-term physical illness and mental health problems.

Within the framework of the research group for digital health and care, I am researching how healthcare can use internet-based platforms to both treat mental health problems and provide support and nursing care to people who live with some sort of long-term physical illness and at the same time experience mental health problems. Examples of projects that I am working on right now are internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy for depression and anxiety adapted to people living with heart disease and support and educational programs aimed at people who are waiting for a kidney from a deceased donor.

Teaching

One of the great benefits with my work is to have the privileged to teach students that will be tomorrow's professional staff in healthcare. In addition, having the privilege of meeting students at undergraduate, advanced and postgraduate levels is, if you ask me, a bit of the “icing on the cake” when it comes to my job.

Research and teaching

I am part of the research group for digital health and care. There I mainly work with research projects that investigate how internet-based interventions can help people with some form of mental health problems or concerns that at the same time live with some form of physically long-term health problem such as heart disease or waiting for a kidney transplant.
I mainly teach at the nursing program where I am course director for semester 1. My teaching assignments also include teaching at the specialist nursing program and supervision of students' degree projects at both undergraduate and advanced level.
