Om mig
Jag blev sjuksköterska 1987 och intensivvårdssjuksköterska 1990. Jag har arbetat inom intensivvård sedan jag blev färdig sjuksköterska främst inom neonatal- och barnintensivvård. Jag började arbeta som lärare vid Karolinska Institutet 2000 och avlade medicine doktorsexamen 2008. Åtta år senare, 2016 antogs jag som docent i omvårdnad. Idag arbetar jag som professor vid Röda Korsets Högskola där jag är ordförande i Utbildnings- och forskningsnämnden.
Forskningsprofil
Min forskning sträcker sig över flera områden som högskolepedagogisk forskning och forskning inom kulturell kompetens. Jag samarbetar med såväl sjuksköterskor, läkare, psykologer och pedagoger inom de olika forskningsprojekten. Forskningsprojekt inom högskolepedagogik handlar bland annat om bedömningsinstrument för att bedöma studenter objektivt och på lika grunder, vilket är viktigt ur ett studenträttsligt perspektiv. Ett annat forskningsprojekt rör hur ambulanspersonal ska kunna arbeta mer effektivt och säkert vid allvarliga händelser med hjälp av virtuell verklighet och artificiell intelligens. Inom området kulturell kompetens har jag bland annat studerat kulturell kompetens hos sjuksköterskor samt föräldrars erfarenheter av kulturell kompetens hos sjuksköterskor inom barnsjukvården. För närvarande samarbetar jag kring två forskningsprojekt inom området kulturell kompetens. Det första projektet rör kulturell kompetens bland sjuksköterskor inom barnsjukvården medan det andra rör framtagandet av en kulturellt anpassad undervisningsmodell om diabetes och diabetesvård, för migranter diagnostiserade med typ 2 diabetes. Slutligen studerar jag föräldrars upplevelser av kylbehandling av deras nyfödda baby som har drabbats av syrebrist i samband med förlossningen.
