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.

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.

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.
