Field of work

Malin Olsson is an Associate Professor in Nursing and has extensive experience in academic leadership and nursing research. Her research focuses on healthcare ethics, aiming to highlight what constitutes a dignified life for individuals living with chronic illness. She has experience working in interdisciplinary settings to develop support that meets the needs of individuals with long-term illnesses. Her academic supervision includes seven doctoral projects focusing on the experience of living with chronic illness.

Malin's primary research focus is on core values within nursing science and healthcare ethics, combined with religious and existential perspectives. She has a strong interest in the different ways people create meaning in their life experiences. Specifically, she has chosen to study how individuals interpret and understand their existence in relation to health, illness, and what constitutes a dignified life. Consequently, her research primarily explores experiences of living with illness in various contexts, with the goal of deepening the understanding of how these experiences affect people’s well-being, dignity, and expectations of healthcare and social services. Malin's research collaboration is based on interdisciplinary partnerships aimed at developing new ways to support individuals' needs in connection with chronic illness. Her work involves collaboration with researchers from various disciplines, such as history, ethics, medicine, linguistics, and technology, to create a comprehensive understanding of the complex challenges faced by individuals with long-term illness.

Since 2002, Malin has gained extensive experience in education, with a particular focus on the leadership and development of academic programs. As a department head and educational leader, she has played a central role in leading and developing programs and courses in nursing science, health science, and healthcare ethics with religious and existential perspectives, ensuring high-quality education and promoting research. Her experience also includes a solid background as a supervisor, opponent, and examiner at both national and international universities. Additionally, Malin has served as an expert in government reviews concerning diagnosis and treatment guidelines.
