Anna Jervaeus

I am a registered nurse since 2003 and I have mainly been working with cancer care in different contexts.
I have a master in Medical Science with a major in Global Health from Karolinska Institutet 2010.

In 2010 I started my research education at Karolinska Institutet and in May 2014 I defended my thesis. The focus for my thesis was on health-related
quality of life, independence and sexuality and both quantitative and qualitative methods were used.

From August 2014 I have worked as lecturer and from January 2020 as assistant professor at the Division of Nursing and Im also involved in several research activities and belong to the Wengström group.

I was accepted as Docent of Nursing Science in June 2021.

Besides that, during 2016 and 2017 I have worked as coordinator for the programme for doctoral education in health care science (PUF-V). The
programme provides a range of learning activities for doctoral students within the specific research theme of health care science and also offers
opportunities for networking.

From 2021 to December 2022 I was Associate programme director for the Study programmes in specialist nursing responsible for the ongoing work at the different programmes. The programme director (PD) has, upon delegation from the Head of Department or the Committee for Higher Education, an overall responsibility for the ongoing work on the programmes.

In November 2022 I received a large grant from The Swedish Cancer Society so for the three coming years I will be working full-time with research. Please see below for more details.

Titel of thesis: Being young with a cancer experience- Health-related quality of life with special focus on independence and sexuality.

One of the research projects I´m involved in (Screening for colorectal cancer- experiences from participants and non-participants) aimed at
exploring how individuals reason when deciding to participate or not in a screening program. The project has been a part of the larger SCREESCO study (Screening of Swedish Colons) and is now finalized. My responsibilities mainly concerned analyses of quantitative data from several questionnaires regarding shared decision-making, health literacy and anxiety. I was also co-supervisor for one PhD-student working in the project. The project will continue with development of a online decision-aid for those invited to screening, with the possibility to be used in several screening programs. For this project we received a large amount of money from the Swedish Cancer Society.

Another research project I have worked with is OptiTrain. This randomised controlled trial compared the effect of different physical exercise regimens
