Research
My research interests are mainly work-related health and health-promoting school development from a salutogenic and person-centered perspective. I also apply an action-oriented approach to conducting research.
My doctoral thesis and subsequent two post-doc projects have focused on work-related health in the form of salutogenic factors and processes that improve how employees feel at work, development and quality testing of salutogenic questionnaires for work and health, how survey processes are experienced and can function in a work environment and how organizations work with co-worker dialogues.
I have been co-supervisor for the doctoral student Sophie Schön Persson and her thesis work focusing on salutogenic relationships in working life. Sophie defended her thesis in 2019. In addition, I have been an active researcher in two health-promoting school development projects, at Degebergaskolan and at Söderport Upper Secondary Special School.
I am project manager for the research project entitled Växa med hästkraft – forskning om personcentrering för ökad hälsa och personlig utveckling i daglig verksamhet (Growing with horsepower – research on person centring for improved health and personal development in daily operations) at Fulltofta Naturcentrum. In addition, I am a co-researcher in the ELCI project which deals with instrument development for discussions about lifestyle change, as well as in a new doctoral project where I will be a co-supervisor and where Kerstin Nilsson is project manager: Därför orkar vi – Sjuksköterskors arbetssituation och hälsa före och under COVID-19 pandemin, samt förutsättningar för att arbeta personcentrerat (Why we manage – nurses' work situation and health before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the preconditions for working in a person-centred manner).
Previous research projects
I work as a senior lecturer, teaching on courses and programmes in the field of public health science, as well as methods courses. I teach both on-campus and online courses at bachelor, master and postgraduate levels. In addition, I supervise and examine degree projects at the bachelor, master and doctoral level in public health science and health science.
My interest in higher education pedagogics is mainly focused on student-centred learning, Universal Design for Learning and generic competence. I was promoted to Qualified Teacher at Kristianstad University in 2019.
I am one of two editors (Bringsén Å. & Nilsson Lindström, P.) of the textbook Hälsopromotion i teori och praktik: olika arenor och målgrupper (Health promotion in theory and practice: different arenas and target groups) which was published by Liber in 2019.
