Karolina Härle

I work as course manager for the master's program “Advanced specialist nurse/nurse practitioner in surgical care” and conduct patient-close research in surgical care.

Educational assignments and research

I work as course manager for the master's program Advanced specialist nurse in surgical care. I lecture and supervise exam papers both at basic level in the nursing program and at advanced level in the specialist nursing program with a focus on surgical care.

I combine my service with clinical work at the surgical department at the University Hospital in Linköping as an nurse practitioner.

I did my dissertation in 2023 in the field of enterocutaneous fistulas, where I studied both the patients', relatives' and health care's experiences of the disease. I also did a study to describe the patients in a Swedish population. My continued research is close to patients, mainly in inflammatory bowel disease, but I also have ongoing projects in emergency surgery and trauma, which is my main clinical area.
