Anna Strömberg

Deputy Dean, Professor

I am Professor of Nursing and Vice-Dean for Research and Doctoral Education at the Faculty of Medicine. My research is about how digital tools can support self-care and rehabilitation for people with heart disease.

Presentation

My research focuses on developing interventions for rehabilitation and psycho-educational support to persons with long-term cardiac illness and their families and to evaluate their efficacy and effectiveness on self-care behavior, health-related quality of life, physical function, participation in care, perceived control, survival and health care utilization. At present my research is focusing on evaluating and implementing eHealth tools to support self-care in persons with long-term illness especially heart failure. My main research tracks are: (1) interventions using tele-rehabilitation and exergaming to improve physical activity in elderly with long-term illness, (2) evaluations of different types of multidisciplinary disease management programs, (3) interventions to support family members/caregivers using eHealth, (4) Theory development in self-care and (5) developing instruments to measure patient reported outcome and experience measures.

I work with a broad range of methods, both qualitative and quantitative, co-design studies, RCT studies, registries etc.
