About me

Research

  • Health care systems in Sweden and many other industrialized countries have
    undergone major technological, organizational, and financial changes during
    the last decades. Leadership is not only of great importance for health care
    organizations and employee working conditions, but also impacts the very
    quality of care that these organizations strive to deliver.
    The overall aim of my thesis was to evaluate interventions aimed at
    developing health care managers´, doctors´, and medical students´
    leadership. The results indicate that both short-term intensive courses and
    long-term leadership development groups are useful methods for leadership
    development in health care. Even though the content and the methods used in
    the studied leadership interventions differ, the interventions seem to
    complement each other.
    A practical implication of my thesis is to initially offer short-term
    leadership orientation courses to present and future health care leaders
    followed by long-term leadership development groups in order to further
    develop participants´ leadership competencies.
    *Some ongoing projects:*
    *1. Effects of team- and leadership development in health care:*
    These research projects are run in joint collaboration with Stockholm County
    Council Area (SLSO) with the aim to study effects of team- and leadership
    development programs for managers and physicians within SLSO.
    *2. Collaboration between county councils, municipalities and school - a
    question of professional social knowledge and how it may change:*
    The aim is to explore the professionals´ perception of barriers to
    collaboration and to jointly create a model for sustainable interaction for
    first-line treatment and care for children and adolescents. The project is a
    qualitative study within the framework of action research. It describes,
    interprets and explains social situations while executing a change
    intervention aimed at improvement and involvement.
