About me

  • I am a specialist nurse in intensive care and have a PhD in medical science
    since 2012.
    I am associate professor at the Department of Clinical Research and
    Education, Södersjukhuset (KISÖS) and work as a senior lecturer and as an
    university nurse at the Department of Anesthesia and Intensive Care,
    Södersjukhuset, with clinical work at the intensive care unit.
    In my educational assignment at Karolinska Institutet, I am course
    coordinator, teacher and examiner for courses within the specialist nursing
    programmes and the undergraduate study programme of nursing.
    I am very interested in pedagogy and have extensive experience of supervision
    at master's and doctoral level. At the moment, I am main supervisor for one
    doctoral student and co-supervisor for ten doctoral students.

Research

  • I am a clinical researcher in the field of acute care with a focus on
    intensive care and nursing care at emergency hospitals. The research area
    also includes urinary tract problems in connection with hospital care and
    person-centered care after surgery.
    Some of my current research projects are:
    * Treatment of and follow-up after intensive care due to Covid-19. This
    includes studies of health-related quality of life, physical function and
    hallucinations after Covid-19, as well as evaluation of different doses of
    thrombosis prophylaxis. A recent doctoral project will explore patient
    safety in the context of a pandemic.
    * Extended physiotherapy after intensive care
    * Implementation of evidence-based care to prevent, detect and treat urinary
    retention in connection with hip surgery - /Onset Prevention of urinary
    retention in Orthopedic Nursing and rehabilitation - the OPTION trial./
    * The risk of symptomatic bacteriuria and urinary tract problems after
    removal of an indwelling urinary catheter
    * External validation of the National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2)
