From Bachelor in nursing, to PhD.
My research is focused on three main areas:
- Ethics in clinical drug trials—with particular emphasis on informed consent, vulnerable populations, and ethical dilemmas in practice.
- Clinical and ethical challenges in nursing—exploring how nurses navigate ethical issues in interactions with patients, families, and interdisciplinary teams.
- Meta-research and unethical publishing practices—with a focus on research ethics, integrity, authorship, publication pressure, and how structural factors influence knowledge production and academic quality.
