Focus in my dissertation was the development of web-based support for families living with depression. My continued research focuses the development of web-based support for families living with mental and/or somatic illness, with interventions based on different theoretical frameworks including e.g. the value of therapeutic writing and social support in stressful life situations, and mindfulness interventions.

Other projects have treated the monitoring of physical, mental and oral health in persons with psychosis living within subsidized housing. Several projects were carried out within the Centre of Evidence-Based Psychosocial Intervention’s (CEPI) activities, including projects on stigma and a mental health first aid program. Examples of such studies relate to the value of a Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) program and of a web-based educational program about suicide prevention within psychiatric care in Sweden (Suicidprevention i Svensk sjukvård, SPiSS).

An interdisciplinary collaboration around the ehealth theme at the Pufendorf Institute resulted in the white paper "eHealth: for better for worse - in sickness and in health", and a continued eHealth@LU network. I was also a project coordinator for an advanced study group (ASG) on the theme of "Trauma from a multidisciplinary perspective" at the Pufendorf Institute.

Further research tracks focus psychotrauma and therapeutic interventions, social media and the COVID-19 pandemic from different perspectives, existential and health related depictions in children's literature, expressive arts and creative projects, with more.

I am also involved in teaching, mainly in the nursing program on both basic and advanced levels, and the master program/courses in medical sciences (e.g., qualitative research methods, master thesis). I was involved the psychiatric nursing program (advanced level).

Prior to my nursing studies, I completed a Bachelor's degree of Arts at Lund University. I also have an education in Artistic methodology in therapy (expressive arts).
