Background

I am a registered specialist nurse within health care for children and adolescents and within district nursing. I worked for 15 years in neonatal care, mainly in Falun but also for a few years in Stockholm. I also have a few years of experience working in a general pediatric department.

I did my doctorate in 2018 with the thesis "Breastfeeding in mothers of preterm infants : Prevalence and effects of support".

I was accepted as an Associate Professor at Dalarna University in 2022.

Research

Här är en akademiskt formulerad och naturlig översättning:

 
I have several research areas. One focuses on breastfeeding and breastfeeding support, as well as care practices and nutrition for preterm infants. Another focuses on school absenteeism, with a particular emphasis on demand avoidance. I am also involved as a researcher and supervisor in projects addressing breastfeeding difficulties, parenting after neonatal care, support during pregnancy in the context of eating disorders, and access to primary health care.

I am the principal investigator of the following ongoing research projects:

Understanding extensive school absenteeism from a neurodiversity perspective: related factors, consequences, children’s and families’ experiences, and support needs. Data collection is ongoing.
The breastfeeding study – in the final phase of data collection.
Cue-based feeding in infants who have received neonatal care. Data collection is ongoing.
