En fenomenologisk inngang til profesjonsetikken : Tillit i praksis - forutsetning eller fortjeneste?
2012
Accepted version of an article from the journal: Nordisk sygeplejeforskning Tema for artikkelen er tilliten i pasient-behandler-relasjonen. Det tas utgangspunkt i profesjonsetikk og profesjonsmoral, og hva dette innebærer, før profesjonsmoralen belyses via et grunnleggende fenomen som tillit.

2009
Ph.D. Thesis, University of Oslo - Faculty of Medicine, Institute of Health and Society ”Foreldre og sykepleiere på en nyfødtavdeling - utvikling av et likeverdig partnerskap i omsorgen for barnet” Studien viser hvor viktig det er umiddelbart å involvere foreldre i omsorgen for det premature barnet, og at ansvar avklares ved at sykepleier og foreldre i fellesskap blir enige om hvordan, på hvilke områder og i hvilken grad foreldre ønsker å delta.
