She receives it for her research project "Re@home: utvärdering av hemrehabilitering för äldre personer - vad fungerar för vem och under vilka omständigheter?"
What did you think when you found out you would receive this amount for your research?
"I was surprised, I did not expect that we would receive funding, so it was very exciting."
What will the money be used for in the project?
"It is an ongoing project that we have received funding to further develop, and it is a research collaboration between KI, Jönköping University, and Luleå University of Technology. Internally at KI, I collaborate with researchers in the Department of Occupational Therapy and the Department of General Medicine and Primary Care, as well as the Unit for Intervention and Implementation Research at IMM in the project. We also have a PhD student in the project who will complete their mid-term in September."
What is the research about?
"The ongoing project is about developing a program theory for how home rehabilitation should be conducted, which we do through literature review, observation of home rehab visits, focus groups with staff, surveys to patients, and review of medical records. Based on this data, we will develop the program theory that will form the basis for an intervention that we will evaluate in a cluster-randomized study, for which we have now received funding from The Kamprad Family Foundation for Entrepreneurship, Research & Charity."
