The research that I conduct is about the work environment in healthcare and assessments of work ability within sickness insurance system. I am also studying pedagogical questions regarding the curriculum of interprofessional learning at the Medical Faculty.
My thesis was about how work ability assessments and official decisions within the sickness insurance system were experienced and understood by clients on sick leave. The importance of good communication with comprehensible and sufficient information, as well as the cooperation between stakeholders, were central components.
Since then, my focus has broadened and also includes the work environment for healthcare professionals. For example, exploring what characterizes healthcare units that are considered having a good psychosocial work environment where the professionals are satisfied and want to stay.
Instrument development
I am also working on instrument development for an assessment instrument assessing work ability; the Assessment of Work Performance (AWP-FK).
