About me

  • I am a psychiatric and mental health nurse, associate professor and researcher at the Centre for Psychiatry Research (CPF), Department of Clinical Neuroscience (CNS) at 探花精选. Clinically, I work as a development manager at Psychiatry South Stockholm within the Stockholm County Healthcare Region (SLSO).

Research

  • My overarching research area focuses on the prevention and management of violence and coercion in inpatient psychiatric care from a nursing perspective. I use both quantitative and qualitative methods, addressing current research questions often based on naturalistic research designs in clinical practice. Since most of my research is linked to systematic evaluations of clinical development projects, it is also influenced by implementation science, particularly aspects of implementation strategies and the measurement of fidelity to interventions.

Teaching

  • I am frequently engaged by universities and colleges to teach in nursing programs, particularly in specialist programs in psychiatric nursing. I also regularly provide teaching and training for healthcare professionals as part of the course offerings from the Centre for Psychiatry Research. My subject areas of expertise include, among others: Prevention and management of violence and coercion in psychiatric care, Rapid tranquillization medication, Basic psychopharmacology, Sensory-stimulating relaxation rooms, Introduction to implementation science, and Qualitative methods.
