Area of work
Malin's research area concerns families with children who live with a severe illness or who have lost a family member (parent/child/sibling). The research involves both the care of severely ill parents and the care of severely ill children and their families. A large part of the research includes developing, evaluating and implementing different types of support for these families or individual family members. The research primarily concerns communication about illness and care between caregivers and family as well as within the family (e.g. breaking point conversations and conversations with sick children and children's relatives about prognosis). Children as caregivers/next-of-kin are a central part of Malin's research where the child's own voice and participation are taken into account. Malin uses mixed research approaches and does both observational studies and intervention research, also with a focus on implementation in clinical practice. All research is done in close collaboration with the clinic and the families affected (PPI).
