Om mig

  • Docent in Public Health and biträdande lektor/Assistant Professor in the Equity and Health Policy research group at the Department of Global Public Health. My 

  • research interests lie in the areas of ageing, health and social 
  • inequalities, and healthcare services and systems. I am also a lecturer and 
  • lead the course Applied Health Promotion and Prevention part of the Master 
  • programme in Public Health.

Forskningsbeskrivning

  • I have experience of conducting both quantitative and qualitative research.
    Currently I lead the work of a systematic review on risk factors for
    infection in older adults who receive home care. I also work on projects on
    health literacy, the de-institutionalisation of Swedish eldercare (the
    'ageing in place' policy), and municipalities’ communication and response
    to Covid-19 in Stockholm.

    For my postdoctoral research project I examined how healthcare
    professionals perceive the hospital discharge process of older adults with
    complex needs. Data from Sweden, Denmark and Finland were compared to examine
    potential inequity in the care of these patients in Nordic countries.
    For my PhD I examined the relationship of sensory impairments with
    cardiovascular disease and mortality, disability and frailty in older age
    using data from two longitudinal cohort studies: the British Regional Heart
    Study and the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. I have also been involved
    in the development and testing of a feasibility study of an home-based health
    promotion intervention for pre-frail older adults.

Undervisning

  • My main teaching areas are health promotion, disease prevention, and
    evaluation of health interventions. I lead the 10 hp/credit course Applied
    health promotion and prevention part of the Master programme in Public
    health. I also give lectures and facilitate seminars in health promotion and
    prevention at other graduate courses at KI.

    I am the main supervisor of two PhD candidates: Farzana Rahman whose project
    focuses on the contents and quality of health and social care for older
    adults, and Clara Brune who undertakes a project on moral distress in healthcare professionals in emergency departments.

    Most terms I also supervise a master/medical student in their degree project.
