About me

  • Is since January 2019 working as a university lecturer at Karolinska
    Institutet, Division of Nursing, Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences
    and Society. In addition to long experience of training in nursing education
    and independent interprofessional courses at Mälardalen University (15
    years) and at Ersta Sköndal Bräcke University (3 years), I have a
    background as a nurse in elderly care and geriatric care. I am also a
    registered Medical Laboratory Scientist and have 10 years of experience from
    blood banking and transfusion medicine.
    My main teaching and interest areas concern gerontology, geriatrics, and
    palliative care from an interdisciplinary perspective. I am also interested
    in existential health and aging in a multicultural and global perspective.
    Within these areas, I have developed and held courses at undergraduate and
    advanced levels and collaborated with teachers from universities in other
    parts of the world.

Research

  • I have participated in research projects on registered nurses’ perceived
    aspects on working with evidenced based care when nursing frail older adults
    and in a project about the autonomy of older adults in home care. I am
    currently engaged in an educational research project in collaboration with a
    university in Thailand - Teaching Gerontology from a Global Perspective and
    in a project which involves a course assignment - Conversations on
    Death-Swedish Nursing Students Reflect on Existential Needs.
