Current research

Åsa's doctoral thesis focused on return to work, health, and well-being after a long-term sick leave due to mental ill-health among women. The aim of the project was to investigate women's beliefs about returning to work as well as their health and well-being after a long sick leave for stress, depression, or anxiety. Following her thesis work, Åsa has continued to research in the field of work and health, as well as patients and their relatives. Åsa is, among other things, the project leader for "Neuropsychiatric Disorders in the Workplace," which deals with nurses with ADHD and/or autism and their work environment, health, and well-being. Furthermore, Åsa leads a project on autistic individuals' experiences of somatic healthcare, as well as relatives' involvement in care and treatment.
