About me

  • I am a registered nurse with a PhD in medical science. Currently I am a
    postdoctoral researcher at KI. Also, I work a Karolinska University Hospital
    with nursing development at the Cancer Theme with special focus on upper
    gastrointestinal diseases. When I work clinically, I care for patients in a
    surgical high dependency unite who have gone through major abdominal surgery.
    Bachelor in nursing, degree in 2003
    1-year Master in Nursing (courses mainly towards surgical care), degree in
    2010
    PhD in medical science, degree in 2019

Research

  • In May 2019 I defended my thesis with the title: Person-centered care
    supported by an interactive app for patients with pancreatic cancer following
    surgery. The research project evaluated how an interactive app för self-care
    and symptom reporting to a nurse navigator could enhance the life situation
    för patients undergoing surgery for pancreatic cancer.
    Currently I am a postdoctoral researcher in the research group of Lars E
    Eriksson. The project has the title “Facilitating lung cancer diagnosis:
    Linking the experience body and the biological body” and explore how
    subjective experiences can be linked to clinical changes and biomarkers, to
    facilitate early discovery of lung cancer and treatment follow up.
    Also, I am affiliated to the research group ICare where I am co-supervising
    Kristina Rooth in a doctoral project which aims to evaluate the effects of av
    interactive app for routine self-reporting of disease-related symptoms during
    the first years after treatment for breast cancer.
    My main interest is to enhance the life situation for patients undergoing
    gastrointestinal cancer. My focus lays in how patient-reported outcomes can
    be used in clinical practice to enhance care and outcomes for the individual
    patient. Another of my interests is how patient' learning can be understood
    and enhanced.

Teaching

  • The last couple of years, my teaching work has focused on supervising
    students who write their master thesis and as clinical supervisor during
    their clinical education at the hospital.
    I am course leader for a course named Gastro-oncological care and nursing
    (7.5 credits).
    I am currently co-supervising one PhD-student.
