Profile

I have a strong interest in nursing and in exploring patients' and relatives' perspectives on living with illness, particularly concerning cancer and brain diseases. I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Public Health, where I also obtained my PhD. Previously, I worked as a clinical nurse specialist in the Neurosurgery Department at Aarhus University Hospital.

Research

I research how to understand patients' and relatives' perspectives and develop interventions that improve care based on patients' needs, preferences, and values. My particular interest is the experiences of cognitively impaired patients, especially in relation to standardized care pathways for primary brain cancer and care transitions.

I use qualitative methods and case study designs to generate in-depth insights, thereby contributing to improved patient pathways and strengthened collaboration between healthcare professionals and relatives.

Teaching activities

I teach and supervise students in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th semesters of the Master's program in Nursing, focusing on patient perspectives in relation to illness, methods for developing clinical practice, and case study research design.

I am the course coordinator for "People's Life Situations in Relation to Illness" and responsible for the 3rd module of the Master's in Clinical Nursing program.

Consultancy

I am a nursing research consultant and lecturer at the Department of Neurosurgery at Aarhus University Hospital since February 2022. I am also a member of the research committee at the same institution.

Job responsibilities

Through my research and teaching in nursing, I work to improve care and patient pathways by identifying patients' preferences and values. My work also includes knowledge development within the research field of patient involvement in clinical practice and the research process.
