Childcare
How control plays a role in the interaction between the care professional and the family with a medical care-intensive child in order to achieve better outcomes.
Research areas
Child
Focus of the research are children with complex chronic conditions who need medical intensive care at home.
Family

Care
In the care for children, growth and education also play a important role in addition to the physical, emotional and social challenges of life.
