Susanna Pohjola

Susanna Pohjola joined CRB in February 2023 and her PhD project explores ethical dilemmas and ethical competence when providing dietary advice. The project also includes an evaluation of an educational intervention with the aim to increase ethical competence and reduce ethical stress for health care professionals.

She holds a degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Mälardalen University and a Postgraduate Diploma in Specialist Nursing in Primary Health Care from Umeå University. As a RN she has self-lived experiences of ethical difficulties when providing care. The experience of working as a lecturer in higher education has given her an increased pedagogical interest. Together with a pedagogical interest and sympathies for ethical issues, she hopes to make a difference for health care professionals who face this in their everyday work.
