Her research focuses on patient safety systems in surgical contexts, particularly through the development and implementation of the PAtient Safety Checklist-PASC. Her work bridges clinical nursing practice with healthcare quality improvement, emphasizing patient experiences and evidence-based safety protocols in surgical settings. Current investigations examine checklist efficacy through qualitative studies and cluster randomized trials.

Anette's recent publications demonstrate a concentrated research trajectory in surgical safety checklists, with all five 2024 publications analyzing different dimensions of the PASC system - from patient experiences to implementation effects and pilot development. This cohesive body of work establishes her as a specialist in translating safety protocols into practical nursing applications within surgical care pathways.

She actively contributes to graduate education through Master's thesis supervision and advanced methodology courses, integrating her research expertise into curriculum development for critical care nursing professionals. Her teaching portfolio reflects a strong alignment between academic instruction and frontline clinical practice requirements in healthcare quality management.
