Örebro University and the School of Health Sciences are looking for a doctoral student for the doctoral programme in Medical Science with a specialisation in Healthcare Sciences, concluding with a licentiate degree, with possible extension to a doctoral degree. Start date: autumn 2023.

Project description

This doctoral project aims to gain in-depth insights from patients and their families at home about their individual needs for effective management and care of their wounds while being advised and supported by healthcare professionals. The focus is on a person-centred approach, where individual needs and preferences are paramount. To achieve this, a comprehensive mixed methods research design will be used. The project will collaboratively develop and produce a novel self-management framework. This framework will serve as a robust guide for individuals who are responsible for self-care of their wounds in their own homes. This project is located within the field of nursing science, specifically within the remit of the Swedish Centre for Skin and Wound Research (SCENTR). Locating the project within this specialised research centre underlines the Centre's commitment to advancing the field of wound care and improving the quality of life for patients and their families who self-care for their wounds at home.

Supervision: The doctoral student will be supervised by Professor Dimitri Beeckman, Dr. Malin Karlberg-Traav (Örebro University), and Professor Georgina Gethin (University of Galway, Ireland).

The programme and the doctoral studentship

The doctoral programme consists of courses and an independent research project that you will present in a licentiate thesis. The programme concludes with a licentiate degree and comprises 120 credits, which corresponds to two years of full-time study. The programme length may possibly be extended and conclude with a doctoral degree if funding can be secured.

Our ambition is for your doctoral studies to be stimulating and purposeful throughout the programme until you have obtained your [doctoral/licentiate] degree. A thorough introduction will therefore get you off to a good start and provide a solid foundation on which you can build your studies. As a doctoral student at Örebro University, you will be offered a specially tailored seminar series, covering matters ranging from doctoral programme rules and careers to support during the study period and networking.

The place on the programme is linked to a full-time doctoral studentship for the duration of the study programme, which corresponds to four years of full-time study. More information on doctoral studentships, part-time studies and part-time doctoral studentships can be found in the Regulations Handbook. The initial salary for a doctoral studentship is SEK 29 100 a month.
