Hrafnhildur Gunnarsdóttir

Universitetslektor

Anställd på Avdelningen för omvårdnad - avancerad nivå.

Forskar inom vård och hälsovetenskap, hälsovetenskap.


Forskningsområde/forskningsintresse

Min forskning har huvudsakligen ett folkhälsovetenskapligt perspektiv och fokuserar på det tidiga livets villkor ur olika aspekter. Min avhandling, som jag försvarade år 2014, handlade om föräldrars upplevda tidspress och ekonomiska bekymmer och de utmaningar dessa kan innebära för barns och ungdomars psykiska hälsa. Jag har de senaste åren drivit ett projekt om kvinnor som varit utsatta för övergrepp som barn, deras livserfarenheter och resiliens. Utöver detta är det hälsofrämjande och salutogena perspektivet ett utav mina huvudintresseområden, där ligger fokus på de individuella och samhälleliga resurser och villkor som främjar hälsa. Jag är också verksamhetsledare för Högskolan Västs Centrum för hälsofrämjande och salutogenes som är en plattform för kunskapsutveckling inom det hälsofrämjande och salutogena perspektivet.
