Rapporterne nedenfor omhandler grønlænderes tilfredshed med sundhedsvæsenet i forbindelse med kontakt til sundhedsvæsenet. De personer, der har givet feedback deltog i befolkningsundersøgelsen i Grønland (2005-2007). Hvert sundhedsdistrikt modtog en kortfattet rapport inkl. Bilag, der gav et komplet overblik over bade deltagernes begrundelser for utilfredshed med den kontakt og behandling de havde fået samt deres forslag til ændringer / forbedringer. Den praktiserende læge var den person i sundhedsvæsenet som deltagerne oftest havde været i kontakt med.

Kort præsentation

Primære forskningsområder

Jeg arbejder på Forskningsenheden som underviser i forskningstræning for læger i hoveduddannelse til specialet almen medicin i Region Øst. Desuden arbejder jeg sammen om projekter med kollegaer og studerende på Forskningsenheden og Afdeling for Almen Medicin. Disse er bl.a. ændring i selvvurderet helbred (SRH) over 20 år i forhold til ændringer i kliniske parametre, ændring af SRH blandt patienter med diabetes, dødelighed ifm. demens, projektvalg i forskningstræningen, antibiotikavalg til blærebetændelse hos kvinder.

Som forsker er jeg især interesseret i sundhed og helbred blandt bl.a. hjemvendte soldater fra missioner i udlandet, i befolkningen og blandt syge patienter. Jeg har stor interesse i begrebet ”selvvurderet helbred” og hvilken betydning det har for fremtidig sygdom og død – samt i det hele taget, hvad kan man bruge begrebet til i klinikken. Derudover er mine interessefelter hvordan patienter håndterer behandlingen og oplever livet med sygdom.

Undervisnings- og vejledningsområder

• Undervisning og vejledning af speciallægestuderende i forskningstræning i almen medicin, bl.a. vidensøgning på internettet og kritisk litteraturlæsning.
• Tidlig patientkontakt, epidemiologi og miljømedicin samt folkesundhedsvidenskab.

Aktuel forskning

• Ændring i selvvurderet helbred (SRH) over 20 år i forhold til ændringer i kliniske parametre.
• Diabetes - bl.a. udviklingen af SRH i løbet af 19 år.
• Mortalitet blandt demente.
