I have been an industrial PhD student at the Department of Psychology since October 2024. I am a licensed psychologist since 2022.
In my research, I focus stress of conscience experienced by healthcare personnel. My research also explores the ability to recognize one’s own needs and to be kind to oneself, which I refer to as self-compassion. In my work, I conduct in-depth interviews, and my researchteam have developed two stress management course that we are currently evaluating.

Research
My research is conducted within the project Eir, where we examine whether two equivalent internet-based stress management courses can reduce work-related stress and improve quality of life and self-care among healthcare personnel.
I am also conducting a qualitative study in which I interview healthcare personnel. about their experiences of moral distress and their capacity for self-compassion.
In addition, my supervisors and I have established a collaboration with PhD candidate Anna Bennesved and Professor Anders Bremer, where we evaluate whether an ethics round for ambulance staff has an effect on stress of conscience.
