Presentation
Susanne Gustafsson är docent i arbetsterapi och anställd som universitetslektor på Avdelningen för Rehabilitering vid Hälsohögskolan på Jönköping University. Hon delar sin tjänst mellan undervisning och forskning. Susanne undervisar i arbetsterapi och vetenskaplig metod på grund- och avancerad nivå.
År 2012 försvarade Susanne sin avhandling ”Health-promoting intervention for community-dwelling older adults - Focusing on the concept of frailty and intervention outcome” vid Göteborgs Universitet. Därefter genomförde hon ett postdok-projekt vid Göteborgs Universitet åren 2012–2015. Detta projekt utvärderade implementeringen av en hälsofrämjande intervention för äldre personer födda i Finland och på Västra Balkan.
Susanne har en yrkesbakgrund som legitimerad arbetsterapeut bl.a. inom psykiatrin samt neurologisk- och geriatrisk rehabilitering. Hon har mångårig erfarenhet av patientarbete, men också av rollen som klinisk huvudhandledare och specialistarbetsterapeut med ansvar för verksamhetsutveckling. Susannes forskning handlar huvudsakligen om äldre personers hälsa och välbefinnande. Områden där hon bedrivit forskning är hälsopromotion, implementering av välfärdsteknik, äldre personers delaktighet i samhället samt att åldras i en migrationskontext. Nuvarande forskning är inriktad på äldre personers vardagsaktiviteter under värmeböljor med fokus på värmeadaptiva strategier och förutsättningar i den fysiska miljön. Susanne har även medverkat i att översätta ett instrument för att mäta kapabilitet, ICECAP-O, där ett par studier är publicerade och fortsatt forskning pågår. Inom dessa områden är hon involverad i tvärprofessionell forskning med såväl kvantitativ- som kvalitativ- och mixade metoder.
