Short presentation
I am an associate professor and a district nurse. My thesis at the Karolinska Institutet about parenting support in the maternal- and child health care in Sweden showed a need for evidence-based methods. As a researcher I have been evaluating the implementation of structured instruments measuring child mental health at the CHC, and manual based parenting support to parents of children 0-5-years. I mainly teach in the nursing- and district specialist nursing program.
Biography
This text is not available in English, therefore the Swedish version is shown.
Jag började arbeta som sjuksköterska på Akademiska sjukhuset inom medicin och hjärtsjukvård. Mina doktorandstudier ledde mig in på föräldrastöd till föräldrar med små barn och jag har studerat den föräldrautbildning som ges inom mödra- och barnhälsovård och varit projektledare i en utvärdering av det manualbaserade föräldrastödsprogrammet Triple P som erbjuds föräldrar med förskolebarn. I forskargruppen CHAP har jag tillsammans med andra forskare utvärderat och implementerat metoder att upptäcka psykisk ohälsa och kommunikationsproblem hos små barn inom barnhälsovården på BVC i Uppsala län. Sedan 2020 är jag universitetslektor på institutionen för folkhälso- och vårdvetenskap. På sjuksköterskeprogrammet är jag bland annat ansvarig för kursmomenten i förbättringskunskap för kvalitetsutveckling.
