Bio

My research profile, scientific thinking, and basic pedagogical views have their origin in Caring Science, hermeneutics, and qualitative research methods. Research and theory development take place in relation to topics such as Ethics, Caring, Suffering, and Health. The research focuses on human life, patients, health care personnel and various health care contexts, self-caring, and health promotion. Research is also conducted in relation to healthcare educators’ competencies, students’ learning and acquisition, and digitalization/VR technology as an educational method for learning ethical caring.

The research areas are; Caring Science - theory formation and clarification of central concepts and theoretical frameworks, Research on ethical competence from a multi-professional perspective in clinical practice with the purpose to develop ethical caring and sustainable health care practices, Research on the phenomena of life suffering and the tension between life suffering and zest for life in the event of major life changes, Research on educators’ competence, students’ learning and acquisition, and digitalization in health education, and Application research and the interweaving of caring science theory and clinical practice.
