Participation as an everyday practice
Central to my research is participation as an everyday practice. My research interest concerns how conditions can be created so that older people can continue to be involved in decisions about their own everyday life. To create conditions for participation, my research revolves around how collaboration takes place between different actors within social services and health care.
I lead the project Collaboration in Dementia care - Agency (CoDA) financed by Forte. The aim of this research project is to explore the collaboration between different care providing agencies in the discharge process from inpatient care to health and care in the municipality for persons with dementia.
I also participate in WellTECH@age, led by Åsa Larsson Ranada, also a project financed by Forte, where we investigate how welfare technology can contribute to security, activity, participation and independence in elder care.
I am also interested in educational research, which is why I participate in the research group Learning Occupational Therapy Skills (LOTS). The purpose of the research I participate in LOTS is to investigate how teaching can be organized and implemented so that occupational therapist students learn the skills necessary to carry out assessments of patients' abilities.
Teaching assignment
The teaching I conduct takes place mainly within the Occupational Therapy Program at Campus Norrköping. I am responsible for the course Occupational Therapy for Diseases and Health Problems - II and I am the examiner of the course Accessibility and Participation in Occupation. I also conduct some teaching at advanced level and in some postgraduate courses with a focus on qualitative research methods.
