Om mig
- I am a PhD student in the social gerontology group (Carin Lennartsson) at
Aging Research Center (ARC), Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and
Society (NVS) and I am employed by Stiftelsen Stockholms läns Äldrecentrum
as an industrial PhD student. This means that I divide my time between the
workplaces and conduct research in close collaboration with the organisations
that carry out development and clinical work in the health care sector in
Stockholm.
I have a master's degree in nursing and a specialist nursing degree as a
district nurse. My clinical background is in primary care, mainly in basic
home health care. Working as a district nurse in home care means working
almost exclusively with older patients (the majority are 80+) and leading the
nursing work in collaboration with many other health and care providers, not
least in municipal social care for older people.
I have academic and teaching experience from assignments and research
projects at the Academic Primary Healthcare Centre (APC), Region Stockholm.
My assignments have mainly concerned quality development and implementation
in the field of care and health in ageing, interprofessional learning in
clinical education and continuing education for registered nurses and
specialist nurses.
Forskningsbeskrivning
- The research project explores the life conditions of first-time social health
care users 65+ to see if there is a pattern between different groups and if
the situation has changed over time. The project also investigates how these
people perceive the assessment of their needs and how well social care
services match their perceived needs. The research project is a collaboration
between Stiftelsen Stockholms läns Äldrecentrum and Aging Research Center
(ARC), Social Gerontology Group at KI, and combines quantitative studies of
register data from Snac Stockholm Äldreomsorg and VAL (Region Stockholm)
with qualitative studies of interviews with first-time social care users. The
project aims to increase knowledge about the ability of social care services
to meet the needs and expectations of the older people it is intended to
support.
