Johan Lundgren

Associate Professor, Docent

Most people take it for granted that physical and mental wellbeing affect each other. But the current healthcare system is not always very good at addressing the psychological problems of people who also have one or more physical conditions.

Heart failure and depression

My research concerns psychological problems among people with chronic heart disease.

As part of the HeaDING-CBT project, we have designed and customised a guided self-help programme of online cognitive behavioural therapy for individuals with heart failure and depressive disorders.

My previous studies concluded that the programme is feasible. The present focus is on the effectiveness of treatment and perceptions of online care among the participants.

Teaching in the Nursing Programme

Most of my teaching is in the area of pharmaceutical calculation. I am also involved in examining third-semester students, supervising first-cycle degree projects and offering CPR training.

Specialist Nursing Programme, Psychiatric Care

I lecture on affective disorders for the Specialist Nursing Programme and participate in instruction by means of assessment and feedback on written assignments.

Research and teaching

I am part of the research group for digital health and care. There I mainly work with research projects that investigate how internet-based interventions can help people with some form of mental health problems or concerns that at the same time live with some form of physically long-term health problem such as heart disease or waiting for a kidney transplant.
I mainly teach at the nursing program where I am course director for semester 1. My teaching assignments also include teaching at the specialist nursing program and supervision of students' degree projects at both undergraduate and advanced level.
