Biography

I have extensive experience in hearing rehabilitation, clinical psychology and behavioral medicine. My research has had a multidisciplinary profile, including collaboration with colleagues in medicine, physiotherapy, psychology, nursing, and dentistry. The research has focused on issues related to adoption, initiation, and maintenance of health-related behaviours. It takes off from a bio-psycho-social framework applying theory and empirical findings from behavioural medicine in rehabilitation, secondary prevention and self-management related to acute and chronic conditions. Another focus is on the implementation of evidence-based behavioural medicine treatment in primary health care and in habilitation services for adults with Retts syndrome.

Experience in communicating results to stakeholders and users

I have extensive experience in lecturing and course work aimed at patients, end-users and personnel employed in different areas of rehabilitation, such as primary care, tinnitus, hearing impairment, long-term low back pain, and WAD. For all of these areas, I explain how health psychology and behavioral medicine approaches have been introduced in research, clinical trials and routine treatment.
