My research focuses on rehabilitation, activity, and return to work in relation to musculoskeletal conditions, long-term pain, and injuries to the hand and peripheral nerves. A key focus is how rehabilitation interventions can contribute to sustainable functioning in everyday life and working life. I have developed particular expertise in hand rehabilitation following injury and surgery, studying both clinical outcomes and patients’ experiences of rehabilitation processes.
A central part of my research also concerns the development, implementation, and evaluation of digital support interventions (eHealth) for individuals with long-term pain, often with a clear work-related perspective and a focus on collaboration between the individual, healthcare services, and employers. Within this area, I am a co-supervisor in an implementation project on internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) for long-term pain.
My current primary research focus lies in educational research in occupational therapy. I am the principal supervisor of a pedagogical research project aimed at developing and scientifically evaluating learning processes within occupational therapy education. This research explores how education can be designed to support professional learning, clinical competence, and readiness for professional practice.
Methodologically, I work with both quantitative and qualitative approaches, including interview studies, observational studies, mixed methods, and user-centred design.
