Hege Rasmussen Eid
My name is Hege Rasmussen Eid. I am employed as an Associate Professor in Mental Health at Nord University and affiliated with the Centre for Care Research, Mid-Norway. Before joining Nord University in 2020, I worked as a psychiatric nurse at the Clinic for Substance Abuse and Psychiatry at Namsos Hospital, and from 2012 to 2019 I was employed at the Department of Geriatric Psychiatry, both in the outpatient clinic and the inpatient ward.
I completed my PhD in November 2019. My doctoral degree in Medicine and Health Sciences (NTNU, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Department of Mental Health) focused on risk factors for frontotemporal dementia and family caregivers’ experiences of the early phase of the disease.
I am affiliated with the research group Mental Health at the Faculty of Nursing and Health Sciences (FSH). Currently, I am involved in several research projects, including the development of clinical placement models for nursing students, digital tools to support family caregivers, and the use of welfare technology for younger people living with dementia.
I am also affiliated with the academic group Health Service Innovation, Collaboration, and Leadership.
- Supervise nursing students during their clinical placements.
- Teach courses in dementia, old age psychiatry, and mental health in older adults.
- Teach and supervise in the postgraduate programme “Dementia Care and Care for Older Adults with Mental Health Disorders.”
- Provide supervision at the bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD levels.
I have conducted research primarily on dementia, young-onset dementia, frontotemporal dementia, family caregivers of people living with dementia, simulation-based learning in clinical placement, and the development of new models in clinical placement.
