My postdoctoral research focuses on how a digital tool can be implemented to promote healthy lifestyle habits among young adults with intellectual disabilities. My work is part of the larger project Intellectual Disability Integrating Digital Intervention Technology for Health (I DID IT), and the work is carried out within a multidisciplinary team and in close collaboration with the target group through co design.
My research interests center on implementation science—how we ensure that care, treatment, and support are grounded in the best available evidence; which factors may hinder or facilitate the adoption of new practices; and how these factors can be addressed. In the current project, I study the pre implementation phase, examining the organisational context and other key elements that inform the choice of implementation strategies. The project employs both qualitative and quantitative methods.
In my doctoral thesis, my research focused on knowledge implementation, with the aim of bridging the gap between expected practice in healthcare—based on the best available evidence—and current clinical practice. I participated in a national research project (a cluster randomized RCT) in which a strategy was tested to implement evidence based guidelines in an orthopedic context. The project is called Onset PrevenTIon of urinary retention in Orthopaedic Nursing and rehabilitation (OPTION), and the goal is to prevent a common postoperative complication (urinary retention) associated with hip surgery.
