Sandra Feldmane

Sandra Feldmane serves as Teaching Staff in the Department of Health Psychology and Paedagogy, focusing on health behavior research and academic instruction. Her work directly contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being through pandemic response studies.

Her educational foundation includes a Master of Psychology (Mg.psych.) degree, providing the expertise for her specialized research.

Research centers on health psychology with emphasis on vaccination behavior and preventive health interventions. She employs the Health Belief Model to dissect factors influencing vaccination decisions during crises, particularly examining how perceived threats, benefits, and sociodemographic variables shape public health responses in Latvia. This work bridges theoretical frameworks with real-world pandemic management.

Recent publications (2023-2024) reveal consistent thematic focus on vaccination intention during COVID-19, demonstrating methodological rigor through analysis of unvaccinated adult populations. The research trajectory shows evolution from initial pandemic response (2021) to refined behavioral modeling (2024).

Award recognition includes:

• 1st place winner with Oral presentation (March 2021)
• Special recognition for most comprehensive study at ISC 2021 (March 23, 2021)

While specific grant details aren't documented, her active conference participation (6 presentations across 2021-2023) and co-authorship with Mārtinsone and Perepjolkina indicate collaborative research momentum. Supervision appears integrated with teaching responsibilities rather than formal graduate advising.

No dedicated research laboratory or specialized team structure is evident from the available information; research appears conducted through institutional departmental resources.
