PhD candidate at the General Practice Research Unit, Department of Public Health and General Practice, NTNU.
The research field is the continuous doctor-patient relationship and inter-professional communication in the health care system in Norway.
The aim of the PhD project is to explore the medical relevance of knowing patients as persons. The research project was divided into two phases: In the exploratory phase, two groups of GPs were invited to reflect upon their ways of knowing about "their" patients' personal lives. The consequent phase consists of an intervention into the interface between GPs and a nursing home, emphasizing communication among caretakers of their knowledge about patients as persons.
