Presentation

I am a registered nurse (RN) and nurse specialist in vascular surgery care, and professor at the Department of Care Science and the department of vascular diseases at Skane University hospital . My research has focus on nursing care and vascular diseases. A special interest is development and psychometric testing of instruments measuring vascular treatment outcome. A further interest is secondary prevention and psychosocial consequences from attendance in screening programmes. I am also partly responsible for the researchprogram PROSENIOR that aims to improve nursing quality of older people taken care of in the municipal care especially regarding prevention of fall, pressure ulcers, malnutrition and poor oral health.

Within the framework of RIDHE, we are now conducting the project Setting Priorities for Research on Interprofessional Learning in Health Care Education, which aims to identify, with the help of students, teachers and clinicians, the most central research questions regarding interprofessional learning. Our method is inspired by the structure described by the James Lind Alliance.
