Research

  • My main research interest is to improve maternity care for women giving birth and I am currently involved in the following research projects:

     

    IMCA - Improving maternity care with agile implementation approaches) is an implementation research project. We investigate if the agile methodology, combined with a model for designing behaviour change can complement an implementation framework to increase effective implementation strategies in maternity care. 

    The Swedish TeamBirth study
    This project evaluates an intervention to improve patient safety and person-centered care during labor birth. The study will be conducted at nine labor wards in Sweden.

    In the project BEST - Birth Experience Study, we investigate, through a national survey, the experiences of women who have given birth in Swedish maternity care facilities over the past five years. The study focuses on women's experiences of support, involvement, and respectful care during pregnancy, childbirth, and the early postpartum period. The study is an international collaboration involving 11 countries.
